title: [Ischemic stroke caused by neuroborreliosis].
abstract: Ischemic stroke in children is rare and its etiology is frequently unknown.
  
  
  METHODS
  We report the case of a nine-year-old boy who presented a right ischemic lenticular stroke due to neuroborreliosis, with a good outcome after antibiotic treatment.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  We suggest that it is important to search for neuroborreliosis in case of an ischemic stroke in children; the study of cerebral spinal fluid is a good diagnostic marker.
