 Actinomycosis is a rare bacterial infection that affects the central nervous system, CNS. It is characterized by slow growing, non-necrotizing granulomas that can cause inflammation and abscesses in various parts of the body. In this study, researchers examined the epidemiology, clinical characteristics, diagnostic modalities and treatment outcomes of CNS actinomycosis. They identified 118 cases from 1988 to 2022, with a majority being male, 57% and the average age being 44 years old. The most common species of bacteria was actinomyces israeli, 41.5%, followed by actinomyces miary, 22.6%. Disseminated disease was found in 19.5% of cases. The most common extra CNS organ affected was the lungs, 10.2%, followed by the abdomen, 5.1%. Brain abscess was the most common neuroimaging finding, 55%, followed by leptomeningial enhancement, 22%.
