Pott's puffy tumor: multidetector computed tomography findings
Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2008•journals.lww.com
A subperiostal abscess of the frontal bone as a complication of osteomyelitis, appearing as a
puffy, indolent tumor of the forehead, was first described by Pott. This less-common
complication of is known as Pott's Puffy tumor. The complications of Pott's Puffy tumor are
preseptal and orbital cellulites by downward spread to the orbit and intracranial infection by
posterior extension. We present a case of Pott's Puffy tumor complicated by intracranial
infection imaged by means of multidetector computed tomography.
