We present a case of Pott puffy tumor in a 21-month-old male, the youngest patient ever reported to have developed this complication and the first ever to have developed recurrence from an infected frontonasal dermoid. Hence, by reporting this case, we want to raise awareness about the importance of early recognition of Pott puffy tumor; and the need to meticulously evaluate and resect any craniofacial dermoid that could potentially lead to recurrence and intracranial complications if left unrecognized.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
