Abstract
Lyme disease is a cause of illness involving multiple organ systems, i ncluding, in 10-15 % of cases, the nervous system. Peripheral radiculo neuritis, cranial neuritis, encephalitis and myelitis are among the ne urological manifestations found in the second and third stages. We pre sent the MRI findings in isolated oculomotor nerve involvement by Lyme disease and discuss the differential diagnosis.
