ABSTRACT
Pott's puffy tumor is a subperiosteal abscess of the frontal bone associated with the underlying frontal osteomyelitis. It has become a rare disease entity due to the development of antibiotics. Despite its rarity, it must be managed carefully because it is often associated with significant intracranial complications. We described a 12-year-old girl with Pott's puffy tumor accompanied with epidural abscess and subdural empyema, which was considered to be caused by the contralateral frontal sinusitis. To our knowledge, a Pott's puffy tumor caused by contralateral frontal sinusitis has not been reported in the literature. We discuss the clinical presentation and successful treatment of this unique case with brief review of the literature.
