Basal meningo-vasculitis and occlusion of the basilar artery in two cases of Borrelia burgdorferi infection

J. A. Veenendaal-Hilbers, MD, W. V. M. Perquin, MD, P. H. Hoogland, MD and L. Doornbos, MD, PhD

Department of Neurology (Drs. Veenendaal-Hilbers and Perquin), Westeinde Hospital, The Hague, The Netherlands
Department of Radiology, Westeinde Hospital, The Hague, The Netherlands (Dr. Hoogland)
Department of Medical Microbiology, Westeinde Hospital, The Hague, The Netherlands (Dr. Doornbos).

We present two cases in which a meningovasculitis and occlusion of the basilar artery were found in young adults with a Borrelia burgdorferi infection. We introduce the designation "neuroborreliosis," because both the central and peripheral nervous systems can be involved in the infection.
