Brucella species are gram-negative, facultative, non-motile intracellular coccobacilli, which replicate inside mononuclear phagocytes. They have zoonotic transmission caused by ingestion of contaminated food, direct contact with an infected animal, or inhalation of aerosols.
Albeit brucellosis has various clinical manifestations, neurobrucellosisinvolvement is considered rare, and occurs in 5-10% of cases [1]. Furthermore, CNS brucella infection most often presents as eithermeningitis or meningoencephalitis [2].
zIn this report, we describe an unusual presentation of neurobrocellosis, where no evidence ofmeningeal
