Radiological Appearance of Brucellosis of the Brain and Its Coverings

The aim of this chapter is to describe the neuroimaging findings of neurobrucellosis. Neurobrucellosis can present with different clinical and neuroradiological signs. The imaging findings are variable and mainly divided into four categories: normal imaging, inflammatory changes in the brain and meninges, white matter changes, and vasculopathic lesions. The different radiological patterns of neurobrucellosis will be discussed thoroughly on CT and MRI. Knowledge of the multiple radiologic findings of neurobrucellosis will enable radiologists and neurologist to include neurobrucellosis in the differential diagnosis and may allow reliable diagnosis.
