L1 radiculopathy mimicking meralgia paresthetica: a case report.

abstract：:A 53-year-old man developed multifocal radicular pain. The diagnosis of Lyme neuroborreliosis was delayed until bifacial paresis and right lower abdominal wall weakness developed, prompting further evaluation. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) examination showed aseptic meningitis. Antibodies directed against Borrelia burgdor...
