Abstract: | A broad range of neurologic disorders have been described in children with Lyme disease, of which peripheral facial nerve palsy and aseptic meningitis are among the most common. In contrast, there are few reports of cerebellar involvement in pediatric Lyme disease patients. We report the case of a 5-year-old girl seropositive for antibodies against the causative Lyme disease pathogen Borrelia burgdorferi presenting with severe acute cerebellar ataxia from the in southern coast of Anatolia (Mediterranean region). |
