Subarachnoid Hemorrhage in a Patient with Lyme Disease
Neurol 48:520-523, Chehrenama,M.,et al, 1997
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Neuroborreliosis can cause a wide variety of seemingly unrelated neurologic abnormalities.Although the epidemiology,etiology,and pathology of this infection have been well documented,the pathogenesis and diagnosis continue to be problematic.In the current study we report a case of Lyme disease in which subarachnoid hemorrhage was the presenting feature of a patient with polyradiculoneuropathy and encephalopathy.Magnetic resonance imaging of the spine demonstrated diffuse pial and meningeal enhancement with more focal nodular areas of involvement.
