Central nervous system borreliosis mimicking a pontine tumour.

Kirsten Latsch, Dennis Tappe, Monika Warmuth-Metz, Helge Hebestreit.   

Abstract

In childhood, facial nerve palsy and headache are typical symptoms of second and third stage neuroborreliosis. While focal demyelination is occasionally observed on MRI scans, the appearance of a tumorous lesion is extremely rare. The case of a 10-year-old girl with neuroborreliosis mimicking a space-occupying lesion in the brainstem, without any previously recognized manifestations of borreliosis, is reported.
