Summary:Brucellosis is one of the major health problem in developing countries. Main complaints of patients are weakness, fatigue, joint pain, and sweating. Musculoskelatal system involvement is the most seen complication. In this case report, we aimed to draw attention to a brucellar spondylitis and spondylodiscitis case who does not have any complaints about the involvement of musculoskeletal system. His diagnosis was made with magnetic resonance imaging incidentally. Bruselloz gelişmekte olan ülkelerin önemli sağlık problemlerindendir. Hastaların ana şikayetleri halsizlik, iştahsızlık, eklem ağrısı ve terlemedir. Kas iskelet sistemi tutulumu en fazla görülen komplikasyonudur. Bu olgu sunumunda kas iskelet sistemi tutulumu ile ilgili şikayetleri olmayan bir hastada tespit edilen bruselloza bağlı spondilit ve spondilodiskit olgusuna dikkat çekmek amaçlanmıştır. Hastanın tanısı rastlantısal olarak çekilen manyetik rezonans görüntüleme ile konulmuştur.
