نویسندگان
چکیده
Actinomycosis is a chronic, suppurative, bacterial disease characterized by extensive fibrosis, occasional granulomas, abscess formation, and sinus discharge containing sulfur granules. In actinomycosis, the CNS is involved in only 3.3% of cases [1]. This report documents an actinomycotic granuloma simulating a trigeminal neuroma clinically, radiologically, and surgically. It is also the first CT report of intracranial actinomycosis that has spread through the perineural space.
