A 22 year old female presented with sudden onset of uncrossed diplopia at distance, intracranial hypertension, esotropia and was evaluated. Microbiological tests of CSF and sera showed for brucellosis and the patient received therapy for this and her intracranial hypertension. The papilledema, headache, esotropia and diplopia all disappeared after therapy. Diagnostic tests for brucella must be considered for patients who have divergence palsy and papilledema, especially those living in endemic areas.
