Abstract
Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease and still a major health problem in many geographical areas. In this paper a forty year-old woman with spinal brucellosis associated with epidural abscess formation and mimicking lumbar disc herniation is presented. Compression of spinal nerve root(s) by epidural masses due to brucella disc infection is a rare condition and should be kept in mind in differential diagnosis of lumbar disc herniation. The crucial role of magnetic resonance imaging in differential diagnosis is also emphasised.
