  • Title: [Pott's puffy tumor - severe course of a sinusitis].
    Author: Stienen MN, Hermann C, Breuer T, Gautschi OP.
    Journal: Praxis (Bern 1994); 2010 Apr 28; 99(9):555-60. PubMed ID: 20449824.
    Abstract:
    The disease pattern <<Pott's puffy tumour>> describes a local frontal-bone osteomyelitis that arises from an external infection with consecutive sub-periostal expansion. Symptoms may develop slowly or not at all with a mostly indolent protuberance on the patient's forehead. Symptomatic illness often indicates secondary morbidities. Here, we present a complicated case with intracranial dissemination.
