Description

Late syphilitic chorioretinitis is a serious ocular condition that occurs as a complication of untreated syphilis. It involves inflammation of the choroid and retina, leading to potential vision loss if not addressed promptly.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that this term may be used in discussions about syphilis complications. It is important to maintain a formal register and avoid colloquial terms that may confuse the clinical context. Common variants include 'corioretinitis sifilítica' which may be heard in less formal settings.
