Meningopolyradiculitis (Garin-Bujadoux syndrome,
Bannwarth syndrome
) is the second stage of Lyme disease, a tick-borne Borrelia infection. Almost 60% of these patients develop an acute peripheral facial
paresis
. The disease can be differentiated from Bell's palsy only by finding the specific Borrelia antibodies in serum and CSF. Other cranial nerve lesions can be found besides facial
paresis
. The follow-up of seven Borrelia-infected patients is described: one showed bilateral, the others unilateral, facial
paresis
. High dosage of penicillin or tetracycline for 10-14 days is the appropriate therapy. The prognosis of facial
paresis
in tick-borne Borrelia infection is considered to be good. All our patients showed complete recovery of motor nerve function.
