A rare case of pseudotumor cerebri in adult Lyme disease

Abstract

Abstract It is important to recognize the rare manifestations of chronic Lyme disease to prevent permanent disabilities. We present an adult case of chronic Lyme disease, who developed pseudotumor cerebri and who needed supplementary surgical treatment. We compare it to the existing published literature, reviewed by a systematic approach.
