Copyright policy )Self-Limiting Fourth and Sixth Cranial Nerve Palsy After Lyme Disease
Lyme disease, or borreliosis, is caused by a bacteria ( Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato) and is transmitted to humans by the bite of ticks of the Ixodes genus. The authors describe a 16-year-old girl who presented with extraocular muscle palsies and had serology positive for Lyme disease. The muscle palsies resolved after antibiotic treatment with no residual limitation of ocular movements. [J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus 2010;47:114–116.]
