Neuroborreliosis with intracranial hypertension and visual loss in a pediatric patient: illustrative case

Approximately 15% of Lyme disease cases involve the nervous system and are termed "neuroborreliosis." A rare complication of neuroborreliosis is idiopathic intracranial hypertension with resulting neurological deterioration. There are very few reports of this in the literature, most of which consist of case reports and small case series. Neurosurgical intervention is exceedingly rare but may be needed in select cases.
