Ocular Actinomycosis Mimicking Meningioma.

Abstract:

:Orbital actinomycosis is an unusual clinical manifestation of orbital infection caused by Actinomyces species. Herein we report a case of orbital actinomycosis in a 67-year-old woman with recurrent swelling and erythema around her left eye with an orbital mass initially thought to be a meningioma.
