Abstract (2. Language): 
Neurologic complications of childhood brucellosis are rarely seen. It usually presents as acute infection of central nervous system. A9-year-old female patient presented to our clinic with fatigue, severe headache, visual loss especially at right eye. She had a history of cheese ingestion made from unpasteurized milk four months ago. There was bilateral papilledema and hemorrhagia at optic discs in fundoscopic examination. Standart Brucella tube agglutination (Wright test) was positive at 1/320 titer and Coombs test was strongly positive at 1/1280 titer. Brucella IgG was also positive (ELISA) in cerebrospinal fluid examination. She was treated with doxycylin, rifampicin and gentamicin. Her clinical findings improved after treatment. No relapse was seen in 10-month follow-up period.
