Extensive cranial, spinal and abdominal involvement in brucellosis: a case with review of the literature
Abstract
Brucellosis is still an endemic disease in certain
parts of world. It’s clinical and radiological
features are crucial for an accurate diagnosis. Although systemic
disease in brucellosis shows common typical features, it’s also very important
to know the uncommon features of multisystemic involvement. Herein we present a
case of brucellosis with unique imaging features of extensive cranial, spinal,
abdominal involvement in a middle aged woman.
