摘要
The case of a patient with cerenral vasculitis with a right thalamic infarct associated with cerebral spinal fluid Lyme disease is presented. This entity has not been described in the United States, and only one similar case in the world literature could be found. The patient presented with a progressive headache and subsequent development of grand mal seizure activity. Lyme disease has been associated with cranial nerve palsies, peripheral and cranial radiculopathies, aseptic meningitis, encephalitic symptoms, chorea, and demyelinating polyneuropathy presenting like Guillain-Barré syndrome. These symdromes can occur separately or in combination. Stroke and strokeline syndromes have been attributed to Lyme disease. The literature concerning the neurologic manifestations of Lyme disease is reviewed. © 1997, Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.. All rights reserved.
