Article Synopsis
- Actinomycosis is a rare, chronic infection caused by specific anaerobic bacteria, which can complicate diagnosis, especially when it affects the central nervous system.
- A case study highlights a 29-year-old farmer with a dura-based mass that resembled a brain tumor, confirmed as actinomycosis through histopathology after surgical intervention.
- Early diagnosis is crucial, especially in at-risk individuals, to ensure effective treatment and better recovery outcomes.
Actinomycosis is an unusual, chronic granulomatous infection caused by spp. The organism also causes mycetoma, a neglected tropical disease in endemic regions. We present a very uncommon case of extensive actinomycosis of the soft tissues in the neck with perivertebral extension that showed the dot-in-circle sign on magnetic resonance imaging.

It arises de novo from astrocytes within the optic nerve, optic chiasm, or optic tracts and is quite challenging to diagnose and treat. To the authors' knowledge, there are 72 cases (including this one) of optic glioma malignancies in the medical literature, 30 corresponding to glioblastomas.
