Simultaneous involvement of third and sixth cranial nerve in a patient with Lyme disease

M Lell et al. Neuroradiology. 2003 Feb.

Abstract

We report a 57-year-old woman with neuroborreliosis presenting with headache, shoulder muscle pain and double vision. MRI demonstrated enhancement of the right third and sixth cranial nerves. A 3D MP-RAGE sequence was used to perform multiplanar reformations to show this more graphically. The patient was free of symptoms 1 month after completion of therapy, when thickening and contrast enhancement of the nerves were less pronounced.
