AB  - Lyme disease is a disease transmitted by ticks with a broad spectrum of comorbidity associated, from purely osteoarticular to neurological, as well as great variability comorbidity depending on the age of the individual. 
It currently represents an epidemic recognized by the CDC and confers a very important morbidity burden in our environment due to the frequent lack of diagnosis and early treatment. This infection has been related in the scientific literature to conditions such as fibromyalgia, autism or ADHD, among others. 
SPECT brain imaging is an indirect technique to measure cerebral blood flow and can be a useful tool in the diagnosis of neuroborreliosis and in the monitoring of treatment. 
We present a series of 6 pediatric cases with varied neuropsychiatric symptoms and suspected neuroborreliosis that showed abnormal findings in the cerebral SPECT.
