Introduction
Brucellosis is a zoonotic infectious disease with various
manifestations. This infection is endemic in the Middle East, especially
Iran. Brucellosis can be treated readily. However, relapses and
chronicity are prevalent (1). Neurobrucellosis is a focal form of
brucellosis that may be life-threatening if not timely diagnosed and
treated. This complication of brucellosis can present with various
symptoms such as headache, meningismus, nausea and vomiting, diplopia,
lethargy, and even coma. Meningoencephalitis is the most prevalent
feature of neurobrucellosis. Nonetheless, cranial nerve palsies, brain
abscess, cerebral venous thrombosis, subdural hemorrhage, Guillain-Barre
syndrome, diabetes insipidus, myelitis, radiculoneuritis, and peripheral
neuropathy are some other uncommon syndromes (2-5). Pseudotumor cerebri
(PTC) has rarely been reported as the sole manifestation of brucellosis
(6). Here, we have reported a case of brucellosis with severe headaches,
progressive visual impairment, and fundoscopic finding of papilledema,
later diagnosed as brucellosis-induced PTC.
