Cerebral actinomycosis following a facio-cranial trauma: A case report.
Radiology Case Reports 2024 June
Cerebral actinomycosis is a rare, chronic, but curable bacterial brain infection. We report the case of an 18-year-old male patient with a history of facio-cranial trauma, admitted in our institution with severe headaches and behavioral disorders. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed showing the presence of contiguous multiple small round and ovoid lesions in the right frontal lobe with "the dot in circle" appearance. The diagnosis of cerebral actinomycosis was confirmed by histological study of the biopsy sample. Despite it being a rare condition, it is important to consider this diagnosis in patients with atypical post-traumatic neurological symptoms.
