Findings on Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Neuroborreliosis—A Nationwide Cohort Study
Pathological findings were found in 35 of 46 patients with contrast-enhanced MRIs. Key findings included cranial nerve, spinal nerve root, and leptomeningeal enhancement-often without clinical correlation. Spinal cord lesions were relatively frequent; cerebral infarction was rare. While key findings can support the diagnosis, their absence does not exclude NB.
