We present a case report of a 64-year-old patient with cervical myelopathy who was transferred to our department from the Department of Neurosurgery for appearance of left-sided internuclear ophthalmoplegia and facial palsy. The following MR of the brain excluded a possible stroke. Laboratory samplings and lumbar punctures performed repeatedly during hospitalization together with paraclinic examinations, which helped us to reach out the final diagnosis of neuroborreliosis.

Keywords: neuroborreliosis, Lyme disease, Borrelia burgdorferi.
