Despite being a treatable and preventable zoonosis, brucellosis is still endemic in certain areas of the world. Nervous system involvement is a rare but an important complication of brucellosis in childhood. Neurobrucellosis should be taken into consideration in the differential diagnosis of any kind of neurological signs, particularly in endemic areas. The authors present a patient with neurobrucellosis who presented with isolated intracranial hypertension without any other systemic symptoms of brucellosis.
尽管布鲁氏菌病是一种可治疗和可预防的人畜共患病,但在世界某些地区仍然流行。神经系统受累是儿童布鲁氏菌病中一种罕见但重要的并发症。在鉴别诊断任何类型的神经系统体征时,尤其是在流行地区,应考虑神经布鲁氏菌病。作者报告了一名患有神经布鲁氏菌病的患者,该患者表现为孤立性颅内高压,而无布鲁氏菌病的任何其他全身症状。
