Lyme disease complicated with pseudotumor cerebri.
To our knowledge, pseudotumor cerebri as a complication of Lyme disease has been described only in children. We report the first case of an adult with pseudotumor cerebri due to Lyme disease and the use of serial lumbar punctures as the sole therapy.
