Central Nervous System Actinomycosis—A Clinicoradiologic and Histopathologic Analysis
2018, World NeurosurgeryCitation Excerpt :On account of the rarity of this infection in the CNS, most published reports are isolated cases, with a few short case series.3 In many reported cases, the diagnosis was made on histopathologic examination, as culture fails to grow the organism.4 In this series, representing largest number of cases from a single institution, we present 17 histologically confirmed cases of actinomycosis involving the CNS diagnosed over a period of 6 years and review the clinical, imaging, and pathologic findings.
