³M.D. Professor, Dokuz Eylül University Faculty of Medicine, Department of Ophthalmology, İzmir/TURKEY Brucellosis is an endemic zoonosis seen in some regions of Turkey. A wide spectrum of clinical findings can be seen in brucellosis while ocular involvement may also be present. All ocular structures may be affected in ocular brucellosis but the most common clinical presentation is uveitis. Therefore, the diagnosis and treatment of ocular and systemic brucellosis may be very difficult. In this case study, we report a neurobrucellosis case associated with bilateral optic neuritis, vitritis, and chorioretinitis. In addition, the management of ocular brucellosis and its treatment options are discussed. Keywords : Brucellosis, chorioretinitis, optic neuritis, uveitis
