| Abstract: | Cranial magnetic resonance imaging abnormalities were observed in 8 children (5 boys, 3 girls; ages 4–14 years) with neurologic problems following infection by Borrelia burgdorferi, the etiologic agent of Lyme disease. Neurologic features included headache (6), behavioral changes (5), facial palsy (2), papilledema (2), papilledema with diplopia (1), disturbance of sleep pattern (2), and carpal tunnel syndrome (1). Two MRI studies demonstrated multiple focal areas of increased signal intensity in white matter on long TR (both proton-density and T2-weighted) images. |
