[Neuroimaging in a chronic demyelination process following tick-borne encephalomyelitis]

We present a case of a 17-year-old female patient with a tick-borne neuroinfection. Tick-borne encephalitis is a viral disease of the CNS. Tick-borne encephalitis is usually of diphasic type, with partial epileptic seizures. No such symptoms were observed in this case. Since areas of demyelination could be seen on CT and MRI scans, immunological etiology should be taken into consideration. The correct diagnosis was established on the basis of serological examination and neuroimaging findings.
