ABSTRACT
CASE REPORT: We report a patient with Miller Fisher syndrome in the course of an acute pneumonia by Mycoplasma pneumoniae. CONCLUSION: Miller Fisher syndrome as a neurologic complication of mycoplasmal respiratory disease occurring at infection onset is very rare and has not been described previously.

Chronic intracranial hypertension in the presence of hydrocephalus and/or arachnoiditis is a rare presentation of neurobrucellosis. The present case is exceptional because neither hydrocephalus nor arachnoiditis were present. Brucellosis was diagnosed by serological tests. The patient developed asthenia, anorexia, weight loss, violent headaches, explosive vomiting, bilateral papilloedema, diplopia with paralysis of the abducens nerves, left supranuclear facial paralysis and left hemiparesis. A skull radiograph showed destruction of the sella turcica. Rapid recovery was attained with the use of antibiotics. The pathogenesis of this intracranial hypertension syndrome with destruction of sella turcica is discussed.
