Abstract

Brucellosis is a common infection that rarely causes cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST). In this case, a 23-year-old male presented to the emergency department with status epilepticus. With a past medical history of drinking unpasteurized camel milk, elevated inflammatory markers, and evidence of brucellosis in the serum, the patient was diagnosed with brucellosis. Further investigations revealed left transverse sinus thrombosis extending to the jugular vein. The patient was treated with enoxaparin and a combination of doxycycline, ceftriaxone, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. This regimen led to rapid and significant clinical improvement in the signs and symptoms of the patient. CVST is a rare complication of neurobrucellosis that might present with signs and symptoms of meningitis. This case report highlights the importance of keeping neurobrucellosis as a possible cause of CVST in patients living in an area endemic to brucellosis.
