Abstract:
Borrelia burgdorferi infection is a frequent disease in our country. The neurological complications of this infection are found essentially in the early dissemination stage and in the late stage of the disease. Neuroborreliosis symptoms are most often characterized by radiculalgia resisting to treatment, sometimes associated to a cranial neuropathy, predominantly facial. The evolution is satisfactory under adapted antibiotherapy. This antiobiotherapy remains necessary despite the fact that most neuroborreliosis complications resolve spontaneously. Treatment permits to avoid the appearance of late complications or of possible extraneurological symptoms.
