Abstract
In this study, we present a rare case of cervical intramedullary brucellosis. To our knowledge, only 6 cases of intramedullary brucella granuloma have been reported previously. Our case is the second reported in the cervical region. A 57-year-old Sudanese female patient was admitted with a short history of neck pain and weakness in her 4 limbs. A magnetic resonance imaging scan was performed and we found an intramedullary mass lesion opposite C4-C5, hypointense in T1 and hyperintense in T2. The diagnosis was confirmed by positive Brucella titer. The patient received doxycycline, ciprofloxacine, ceftiaxone, and dexamethasone. The patient showed improvement clinically and radiologically.
