Neurobrucellosis with bilateral sensorineural hearing loss and ataxia

Summary Brucellosis is a zoonotic infection and has endemic characteristics. Neuro­ brucellosis is an uncommon complication of this infection. In neurobru­ cellosis, various clinical and neuroradiological signs and symptoms can be confused with other neurological diseases. In inhabitants or visitors of e ndemic areas, neurobrucellosis should be kept in mind in cases which have unusual neurological manifestations. We present a case of a 50­year­old f emale who presented with headache, bilateral hearing loss for 1 year with ataxia and vertigo for 2 months. The case is reported because of the d iagnostic dilemma and its rarity.
