%X Lyme disease is caused by the infection by different species of the genus Borrelia and transmitted by the bite of ticks of the Ixodidae family and its similar. It is responsible for systemic clinical manifestations such as skin and joints lesions, cardiac and neurologic symptoms. Since this disease presents peculiarities concerning the etiologic agent, transmission and diagnosis, and there are no conclusive reports in Brazil about the occurrence of Lyme disease, with the same clinical and laboratory features as in the northern hemisphere, it has been chosen to change the nomenclature in Brazil for Baggio-Yoshinari Syndrome (BYS). It is analyzed in this report a case treated in the Hospital Universit¨¢rio da Universidade de S o Paulo who presented exclusively neurological manifestations of the BYS (radiculopathy, facial nerve palsy and cerebelar envolvement) without skin or joint manifestations. A doen a de Lyme ¨¦ causada pela infec  o por diferentes esp¨¦cies do g¨ºnero Borrelia e transmitida por picada de carrapatos da fam¨ªlia Ixodidae e similares sendo respons¨¢vel por manifesta  es cl¨ªnicas sist¨ºmicas como cutaneas, articulares, card¨ªacas e neurol¨®gicas. Por apresentar particularidades quanto ao agente etiol¨®gico, transmiss o e diagn¨®stico, e por n o existirem no Brasil relatos conclusivos da ocorr¨ºncia da Doen a de Lyme com as caracter¨ªsticas cl¨ªnico-laboratoriais encontradas no hemisf¨¦rio norte, foi optado pela mudan a da nomenclatura no Brasil para S¨ªndrome de Baggio-Yoshinari (SBY). ¨¦ analisado nesse relato um caso internado no Hospital Universit¨¢rio da Universidade de S o Paulo que cursou exclusivamente com manifesta  es neurol¨®gicas da SBY (radiculite perif¨¦rica, paralisia facial e comprometimento cerebelar) e aus¨ºncia de manifesta  es cutaneas ou articulares.
