Pediatric stroke related to Lyme neuroborreliosis: Data from the Swiss NeuroPaediatric Stroke Registry and literature review.
CONCLUSIONS: Lyme Neuroborreliosis accounts for a small proportion of paediatric stroke even in an endemic country. The strong predilection towards posterior cerebral circulation with clinical occurrence of brainstem signs associated with meningeal symptoms and CSF lymphocytosis are suggestive features that should rapidly point to the diagnosis. This can confirmed by appropriate serological testing in the serum and CSF. Clinicians must be aware of this rare neurological complication of Lyme disease that demands specific antibiotic treatment.

Cerebral vasculitis and stroke due to Lyme neuroborreliosis: A favorable clinical outcome after early antibiotic treatment
Lyme neuroborreliosis (LNB) is a disease of the nervous system caused by the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato genospecies, which is transmitted by the bite of infected ticks. Approximately 15% of patients with Lyme borreliosis develop neurological manifestations; most frequently meningitis, cranial neuritis or polyradiculitis [1]. Ischemic stroke due to cerebral vasculitis is rarely (
