  • Title: Pott's puffy tumor: the forgotten entity. Case report.
    Author: Babu RP, Todor R, Kasoff SS.
    Journal: J Neurosurg; 1996 Jan; 84(1):110-2. PubMed ID: 8613816.
    Abstract:
    Pott's puffy tumor is a subperiosteal abscess of the frontal bone associated with underlying frontal osteomyelitis. The introduction of antibiotic medications has diminished the incidence of complications of frontal sinusitis. As a result, Pott's puffy tumor has become a rarity. In this communication a case of Pott's puffy tumor secondary to antecedent frontal sinusitis in an otherwise healthy adult man is described.
