  • Title: Trauma-associated Pott's puffy tumor: an ophthalmologic perspective.
    Author: Hassan S, Rahmani B, Rastatter JC, Jaju AI, Kurup SP.
    Journal: Orbit; 2020 Feb; 39(1):38-40. PubMed ID: 30773962.
    Abstract:
    Pott's puffy tumor is a significant complication of frontal sinusitis that leads to frontal bone osteomyelitis and can be associated with frontal swelling, subperiosteal abscess, and intracranial abscess. It may be associated with antecedent trauma and typically presents in adolescents. Orbital involvement is rarely reported. We describe the case of a 15-year-old male who presented after blunt facial trauma with orbital hematoma and developed Pott's puffy tumor with orbital cellulitis and subperiosteal abscess. Management required a collaborative, multidisciplinary effort that yielded a good outcome.
