Neuroborreliosis and isolated trochlear palsy.
We report here for the first time a child with isolated trochlear palsy and neuroborreliosis. IgG and IgM antibodies against Borrelia burgdorferi were highly positive in serum and cerebrospinal fluid respectively. The symptoms resolved completely after initiation of antibiotic treatment with ceftriaxone.
