Basal meningo‐vasculitis and occlusion of the basilar artery in two cases of <i>Borrelia burgdorferi</i> infection

Abstract

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.
