  • Title: The Pott's puffy tumor: an unusual complication of frontal sinusitis, methods for its detection.
    Author: Sabatiello M, Vanhooteghem O, Mostinckx S, De La Brassinne M.
    Journal: Pediatr Dermatol; 2010; 27(4):406-8. PubMed ID: 20653869.
    Abstract:
    This is a case report of a Pott's puffy tumor, characterized by a subperiosteal abscess associated with frontal bone osteomyelitis, as a consequence of a frontal sinusitis, in a 15-year-old boy. Pott's puffy tumor is a rare condition usually seen as a complication of frontal sinusitis and more commonly described in children. Given that, superficial temporal artery pseudoaneurysms might be interpreted as a cyst or lipoma, it is imperative that physicians be aware of their presentation.
