The central nervous system is involved in 10-20% of cases in Lyme
disease. The neurological symptoms, time course of the disease and
imaging findings are multifaceted. We report two patients with cervical
radiculitis. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed strong enhancement of
the cervical nerve roots on contrast-enhanced T1-weighted images. These
imaging patterns of borrelia-associated radiculitis have not been
reported before. Knowledge of these imaging features may help to
diagnose neuroborreliosis, which presents with non-specific symptoms.
