Dyskeratosis congenita is a rare inheritable disease which causes peculiar dermatological features and bone marrow failure with an increased risk of severe infections and neoplasia. Actinomyces spp. is part of the oral cavity flora. Invasive infections are mostly seen in immunocompromised hosts. We report a case of a rare central nervous infection and an underling inheritable disease.

Palabras clave : Dyskeratosis congenita; Brain abscess; X-linked inheritance.
