Abstract

Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease characterized by multisystem involvement and is frequently encountered in developing countries. Nervous system involvement is rare, with a reported incidence of 4–11%. Cranial nerve pathologies, optic stasis, meningitis, myelitis, radiculopathy, peripheral neuropathy and vasculopathy are the most common findings of neurobrucellosis and the clinical picture may show itself in various combinations. Cerebral vasculopathy due to brucellosis is a very rare entity, with only a few cases reported in the literature. In this article, it is aimed to present a case of a 60-year-old male neurobrucellosis who developed stroke due to vasculitic involvement of deep cerebral penetrating vessels and to discuss it in the light of the literature.

Özet

Bruselloz gelişmekte olan ülkelerde sıklıkla rastlanan ve multisistem tutulum ile karakterize olan zoonotik bir hastalıktır. Sinir sistemi tutulumu nadirdir ve insidansı %4-11 arasındadır. Kranial sinir patolojileri, optik staz, menenjit, myelit, radikulopati, periferik nöropati ve vaskülopati en sık görülen nörobruselloz bulgularıdır ve klinik tablo değişik kombinasyonlarda kendini gösterebilmektedir. Bruselloza bağlı serebral vaskülopati çok nadir görülmekte olup literatürde birkaç olgu sunumu ile ifade edilmiştir. Bu yazıda derin serebral penetran damarların vaskülitik tutulumu neticesinde inme gelişen 60 yaşında erkek bir nörobruselloz olgusunun sunulması ve literatür eşliğinde tartışılması amaçlanmıştır.
