    Author: Strony RJ, Dula D.
    Journal: Pediatr Emerg Care; 2007 Nov; 23(11):820-2. PubMed ID: 18007214.
    Abstract:
    Pott puffy tumor is an osteomyelitis of the frontal bone with the development of a subperiosteal abscess manifesting as a puffy swelling of the forehead or scalp. It is believed to occur as a complication of frontal sinusitis. The modern antibiotic era has made it a rarely encountered entity. This case describes a 4-year-old boy who presented in status epilepticus secondary to Pott puffy tumor.
