Abstract
Pott puffy tumor is a rare entity, characterized by the association of a subperiosteal abscess and osteomyelitis of the frontal bone. It is often secondary to frontal sinusitis or trauma. We report the case of a 14-year-old child who presented with a Pott’s tumor following frontal sinusitis, complicated by subdural empyema. He was successfully treated with antibiotic therapy and percutaneous drainage of the frontal abscess.
