Germinoma accounts for two-thirds of germ cell tumors and about 40% of all pineal region neoplasms. This case illustrates an unusual manifestation of metatastic germinoma with spread to ventricles and meninges without a pineal mass. A 24-year-old man presented with nausea, vertigo, and left facial droop. Cerebrospinal fluid aspirate showed malignant cells most suggestive of a germinoma.

Lyme disease is most prevalent in the northeast and upper Midwest regions of the United States. While early symptoms may be mild (eg, rash, flu-like symptoms, joint pain), late or persistent infection can cause chronic neurologic impairments. Because of this range of symptoms, physicians can have difficulty diagnosing Lyme disease, especially in the absence of erythema chronicum migrans. We report a case of a woman who initially presented with severe vertigo and vomiting and later with fever, headache, and facial droop. After more than 3 weeks of misdiagnosis, the patient tested positive for Lyme disease and was diagnosed as having neuroborreliosis presenting as Bell palsy and meningitis. The authors review the history, diagnosis, and management of Lyme disease.
