Lyme Polyradiculoneuropathy Presenting as Increasing Abdominal Girth
Neurol 40:373-375, Daffner,K.R.,et al, 1990
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
We describe a patient with documented Lyme disease whose major complaint was increasing abdominal distention.Electrophysiologic studies demonstrated denervation of the lower thoracic paraspinal muscles and the rectus abdominis.Expanding abdominal girth can be an unusual manifestation of the polyradiculoneuropathy associated with Lyme disease.
