Abstract Actinomycosis infection is a slow progressing disease, in which involvment of the central nervous system by Actinomyces israelii is uncommon (less than 5%). Clinical picture is non-specific and is often misdiagnosed with neoplasia; some clinical clues my arise suspicion. The case of a 59 year-old female is reported who presented headache and focal neurologic signs and in whom a out-of the hospital diagnosis of a neuroepitelial dysembryoplastic tumor was made; nonetheless after careful interview and physical exploration, a spectroscopy magnetic resonance of the brain and hystopathological description of the lesion was made and yielded the definitive diagnosis of intracranial actinomyces infection. Treatment and progression were uneventful.

Cysticercosis is a known disease of the developing world and accounts for the majority of epilepsy cases in these nations. The disseminated form represents a rare presentation of the disease with neurocysticercosis being the most common. Patients may present with neurological complaints of seizures only with no clinical manifestations of muscular pseudohypertrophy or palpable subcutaneous nodules usually found in disseminated form falsely localizing disease to the central nervous system. This case report highlights the fact that despite its rarity a high index of suspicion for disseminated form should be kept in mind in endemic areas and warrants routine screening of all patients for multi-organ involvement who present with multiple lesions in brain parenchyma.
