  • Title: Lyme neuroborreliosis disguised as normal pressure hydrocephalus.
    Author: Danek A, Uttner I, Yoursry T, Pfister HW.
    Journal: Neurology; 1996 Jun; 46(6):1743-5. PubMed ID: 8649583.
    Abstract:
    A 74-year-old woman presented with gait impairment, urinary incontinence, and dementia. She showed lymphocytic CSF pleocytosis and pronounced intrathecal Borrelia burgdorferi antibody production, indicating active Lyme neuroborreliosis. The syndrome of normal-pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) fully remitted after ceftriaxone treatment. Lyme neuroborreliosis may cause NPH by interfering with subarachnoid CSF flow.
