The purpose of this study is to investigate the risk factors of intracranial complications in adult patients with Pott Puffy Tumor (PPT). A systematic review was conducted of clinical studies from January 1983 to December 2022 that reported on PPT adult patients. The full-text articles were reviewed for the patients’ ages, sex, cultured organisms, surgical procedures, clinical sequalae, and underlying diseases that may affect the onset of intracranial complications in PPT adult patients. A total of 106 studies were included. Medical data were reviewed for 125 patients (94 males, 31 females). The median age was 45 years. A total of 52% had comorbidities, mostly head trauma (24.5%), sinus/neurosurgical operations (22.4%), immunosuppression conditions (13.3%), diabetes mellitus (9.1%), cocaine use (7.1%), or dental infections (6.1%). A total of 28 cultures revealed Streptococcus (22.4%), 24 contained staphylococci (19.2%), and 22 cultures contained other pathogens (17.6%). An amount of 30.4% developed intracranial complications, with the most common being epidural abscesses or empyemas (55.3%), as well as subdural (15.7%) and extradural lesions (13.2%). Age, DM, and immunosuppression conditions are significantly associated with intracranial complications (p < 0.001, p = 0.018 and p = 0.022, respectively). Streptococcus infection is associated with intracranial complications (p = 0.001), although Staphylococcus and other microorganisms are not. Surgical intervention, mainly ESS, and broad-spectrum antibiotics remain the cornerstones of treatment.

“…Osteomyelitis is characterized by bony destruction and sequestrum formation ( Bhanwala et al, 2021 ). The frontal sinus is closely related to the orbit and skull base, making the potential complications of infection more serious and fatal ( Chaturvedil et al, 2004 ). FSO typically presents with fever, headache, nasal discharge, forehead swelling, photophobia, orbital pain, and periorbital edema (Chaturvedil et al, 2004; Deutsch et al, 2000 ; Al-Qudah and Graham, 2012 ).…”

It can also manifest as a draining cutaneous fistula ( Chaturvedil et al, 2004 ; Jaswal et al, 2007 ).…”

Osteomyelitis is an infection of the bone which is accompanied by bony destruction and sequestrum formation. Osteomyelitis of frontal bone requires us to deal with great caution as it can lead to a great deal of morbidity and mortality. Often when surgical treatment provided, it is radical and leaves behind surgical defect over the frontal bone. We report a case of a 14 year old boy diagnosed with frontal bone osteomyelitis of the left side who was treated using antibiotic loaded bone cement.
