Article Synopsis
- A 46-year-old farmer sought medical attention for progressive swelling in his left foot, which he injured a decade ago.
- An MRI showed the "dot-in-circle" sign, indicating a diagnosis of mycetoma, also known as Madura foot.
- This condition mainly impacts soft tissues and bones, with foot involvement seen in 80% of cases, and may lead to serious complications.
Most anatomic features of the internal carotid artery (ICA) are described as a straight course to the skull base free of branches. In some cases, the excessive elongation of the internal carotid artery in a confined space results in a curvature showing a "C" or "S" shape, or in an abnormal vascular shape made of a single or double vessel loop. These anatomic variants are called dolichoarteriopathies of the internal carotid artery.

Focal tuberculous cerebritis is extremely rare, typically occurring in patients without AIDS, and often associated with tuberculous meningitis. In endemic regions, it should be a primary consideration when encountering cerebral anomalies suggestive of granulomatous conditions.

- The text discusses a rare chronic infection called Madura foot or mycetoma, characterized by granulomatous tissue damage that affects subcutaneous tissues and bones.
- Early diagnosis is important and can be aided by MRI imaging, especially when the distinct "dot-in-circle" sign is present, with CT scans providing better detail than regular X-rays.
- Identifying the specific infectious agent (either a fungus or the bacterium Actinomyces) is crucial for effective treatment, which can be complex and may lead to amputation if not diagnosed promptly.
