Abstract

Objective: To present a neurobrucellosis case with spinal root involvement by means of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Methods: A case of neurobrucellosis resembling Guillain-Barré syndrome is being reported. This case is unique in a way that spinal root involvement because of brucellosis was for the first time confirmed by MRI. Setting: Spinal cord unit of a rehabilitation and care center in Ankara, Turkey. Results: The correct diagnosis was made with cerebrospinal fluid culture. The patient showed a significant improvement with antimicrobial therapy and rehabilitation. Conclusion: Polyradiculopathy because of neurobrucellosis may mimic neurological syndromes. Rehabilitation should also be a part of its treatment.
