ABSTRACT
Manifestations involving the nervous system [neurobrucellosis], is a treatable infection, however it is not well documented. Direct invasion of the central nervous system occurs in fewer than 5% of cases. Acute or chronic meningitis is the most frequent nervous system complication. However, hemiplegia and cranial nerve involvement are rarely encountered. In this report we present a patient with "seventh cranial nerve palsy" and "hemiplegia, " as the manifestations of probable neurobrucellosis. Thus, in endemic area, brucellosis should be ruled out in patients who develop unexplained neurological symptoms such as hemiplegia
