Özet
Bruselloz Türkiye'de endemiktir. Brusellozda osteo-artriküler komplikasyonlar sıktır, ancak epidural apse nadiren bildirilir. Bu yazıda, klinik bulguları ile disk hernisini taklit eden ve üç yıl disk hernisi nedeniyle medikal tedavi görmüş, ancak bruselloza bağlı epidural apse gelişen 51 yaşında bir kadın olgu sunulmuştur. Tanı; uygun anamnez varlığı, pozitif bruselloz serolojisi ve radyolojik bulgular ile konulmuştur. Medikal tedavi ile sekelsiz olarak iyileşmiş ve sekiz aylık izlemde nüks gelişmemiştir. Bel ağrısı olan olgularda akut infeksiyon bulguları tanımlanmamış olsa da bruselloz ayırıcı tanıda dikkate alınmalıdır.
Brucellosis is an endemic disease in Turkey. Osteoartricular complications are common, but epidural abscess is a rare complication in brucellosis. In this paper, a 51-year-old female who had brucellar epidural abscess mimicking disc hernia with clinical signs and formerly had received physiotherapy for three years is presented. The diagnosis was made by compatible history, positive serology and radiological signs. The patient healed without sequela with medical treatment. Brucellosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of cases with back pain and no acute infection symptoms.
