  • Title: [A case of cranial polyneuropathy presenting with prominent facial diplegia, elevated serum Borrelia burgdorferi antibody and lymphocytic pleocytosis].
    Author: Hasegawa Y, Ueno S, Takegami T, Okamoto S.
    Journal: Rinsho Shinkeigaku; 1990 Jul; 30(7):787-9. PubMed ID: 2242636.
    Abstract:
    A 54 year-old male patient developed acute cranial polyneuropathy including prominent facial diplegia and radicular++-neuritis. He was proven to have lymphocytic pleocytosis, and elevated serum Borrelia burgdorferi antibody to X800 (normal; less than X200). A diagnosis of typical early neuro-borreliosis was made after these clinical and laboratory findings. This case is the first neuro-borreliosis showing the triad of neurological manifestations (meningitis, cranial neuritis, radicular++-neuritis) in Japan. It is concluded that neuro-borreliosis should be considered to be a cause of acute cranial polyneuropathy, particularly of facial diplegia, even if the patient has no apparent history of a tick bite.
