A case of neurobrucellosis complicated by optic, abducens and vestibulocochlear nerve
palsies is reported. Brucella melitensis was isolated in the cerebrospinal fluid, and the
patient was diagnosed with retrobulbar neuritis. Despite medical treatment, the patient
developed optic atrophy. Multiple cranial nerve involvement should be kept in mind in
patients presenting with blurred vision and double vision, especially in regions where
brucellosis is endemic.
