Introduction

A 54 years old male patient, who had long time contact with flocks and herds, was diagnosed as Wallenberg Syndrome by clinical symptoms and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (Figure 1a) at first, but he did not had any stroke risk factors and there was nothing abnormal detected in the intracranial vascular (Figure 1b). inflammationAbout one month later, fever and headache happened, then Chest CT showed in inferior lobe lung and a little effusion in chest (Figure 1c), and brucella blood serum agglutination test was positive (1:200). This case showed that neurobrucellosis may sometimes be presented as stroke at first.
