A case of brucellosis with multiple neurological complications

Öz:

Bruselloz, bir çok diğer nörolojik hastalıkları taklit edebilen, geniş spektrumlu ciddi nörolojik komplikasyonlar ile ilişkilidir. Biz, bir bruselloz olgusunun yetersiz tedaviye bağlı gelişen çeşitli nörolojik komplikasyonlarını (geçici iskemik ataklar (TIA) sonrası iskemik inme ve venöz tromboz) ve MRG bulgularını sunmayı amaçladık. Olgunun hiç vasküler risk faktörü ve bruselloza ait sistemik bulgusu yoktu. Sonuç olarak, etyolojisi bilinmeyen nörolojik hastalıkları olan veya atipik presentasyonu olan hastalarda nörobruselloz endemik bölgelerde her zaman akılda tutulmalıdır.

Çeşitli nörolojik komplikasyonlarla seyreden bir bruselloz olgusu

Öz:

Brucellosis may be associated with a wide spectrum of severe neurological complications which can mimic many other neurological diseases. We aim to present a case of brucellosis with multiple neurological complications (ischemic stroke after transient ischemic attacks and venous thrombosis) due to an inadequate treatment of brucellosis as well as the MRI findings of the patient. She had no vascular risk factors and no systemic signs of brucellosis. In conclusion, neurobrucellosis should always be kept in mind in endemic areas when patients present atypically or with neurological diseases with unknown etiologies.
