Brucellar Spondylitis with Epidural Abscess and Lumbosacral Radiculitis Mimicking Lumbar Disc Herniation

Key Points

• Epidural abscess was detected alongside brucellar spondylitis and lumbosacral radiculitis, complicating the clinical picture.
• Imaging studies, particularly MRI, showed characteristic findings indicative of the abscess and radiculitis.
• The case illustrates how brucellar spondylitis can mimic lumbar disc herniation, leading to diagnostic confusion.
• Timely identification and treatment of brucellar spondylitis and associated complications are crucial for patient outcomes.
