Abstract
The authors describe a case of syphilitic amyotrophy in a 37-year-old man presenting with subacute progressive painless weakness in the right arm. Syphilitic amyotrophy is still an existing differential diagnosis of painless and progressive weakness. The authors explore potential obstacles in the diagnostic workup and finding of adequate therapy.
