Lyme disease of the brainstem.

Lyme disease is a multisystem infectious disease caused by the tick-borne
spirochete, Borrelia burgdorferi. Central nervous system (CNS) involvement
typically causes local inflammation, most commonly meningitis, but rarely
parenchymal brain involvement. We describe a patient who presented with
clinical findings suggesting a brainstem process. Magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) suggested a brainstem neoplasm.
Prior to biopsy, laboratory evaluation led to the diagnosis of Lyme disease.
Clinical and imaging abnormalities improved markedly following antimicrobial
therapy.
We describe Lyme disease involvement of the cerebellar peduncles
with hypermetabolism on PET. Although MRI is the primary imaging modality
for most suspected CNS pathology, the practical applications of PET continue
to expand.
