Cranial nerve involvement with Lyme borreliosis demonstrated by magnetic resonance imaging
Neurology.
1992 Mar.
Abstract
We report a patient with cranial nerve and meningeal symptoms secondary to Lyme borreliosis. MRI using gadolinium contrast material demonstrated this inflammatory process. The patient did not have the parenchymal lesions described in previous reports of patients with CNS Lyme borreliosis.
