Description

Late congenital syphilitic oculopathy refers to the ocular manifestations that occur in individuals who were infected with syphilis during pregnancy, leading to complications in vision and eye health. This condition typically presents later in life, often after the initial stages of congenital syphilis have passed.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that this term may be used in formal medical contexts, and it is important to maintain a clinical register. Common variants that may be encountered include 'oculopatía sífilis' or 'sífilis ocular', which should be avoided in favor of the canonical term for clarity.
