Abstract

A young woman with severe visual loss, diplopia, bilateral optic nerve swelling, subhyaloid hemorrhage, and vasculitis was diagnosed with brucellosis. Clinical and ocular findings, except optic disc atrophy, improved within 3 months after antibrucellar treatment. These findings expand the ocular manifestations of brucellosis, and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of optic neuritis, subhyaloid hemorrhage, vasculitis, and optic disc atrophy.
