ÖZET
Transvers myelit (TM) nadir görülen bir hastalıktır. Primer bir olay olarak oluşabildiği gibi; otoimmün, enfeksiyöz veya enfeksiyon sonrası enflamatuvar hastalıklarla da ilişkili olabilir. Lyme hastalığında nörolojik tutulum daha çok kraniyal sinir nöropatileri, menenjit ve radikülopati şeklinde olurken TM nöroborreliosis vakalarının sadece %4-5’inde oluşmaktadır. Bu yazımızda lyme hastalığına bağlı longitudinal extensive TM (LETM) gelişen 3 yaşındaki erkek hastayı sunuyoruz.
