Neurobrucellosis is an uncommon serious complication of brucellosis. Diagnosis of neurobrucellosis could be difficult due to non-specific clinical and radiological findings. So, in endemic regions, neurobrucellosis should be included in the differential diagnosis list of patients with recent neurological disorders. We report an unusual case of neurobrucellosis with neurologic deficits in the central and peripheral nervous system and MRI lesions in the brainstem, spinal cord, and nerve roots Also, related articles are reviewed in the discussion section.
神经型布鲁氏菌病是布鲁氏菌病少见的严重并发症。由于临床表现和影像学检查无特异性，神经型布鲁氏菌病的诊断较为困难。因此，在流行地区，对于有近期神经系统疾病的患者，应将神经型布鲁氏菌病纳入鉴别诊断。我们报告了一例不常见的神经型布鲁氏菌病病例，该患者有中枢和周围神经系统神经功能缺损，并伴有脑干、脊髓和神经根的 MRI 病变。在讨论部分还回顾了相关文献。
