Pott’s Puffy Tumor - Overview of case series

Abstract: Pott’s puffy tumor (PPT) is rare and usually seen as a complication of frontal sinusitis that has been neglected or partially treated, resulting in subperiosteal abscess of the frontal bone with underlying osteomyelitis, which can lead to life-threatening intracranial complications, such as epidural/subdural empyema, cerebral abscess and meningitis. Given this, the purpose of the present study was to gather the most diverse cases reported together to highlight the main treatment methods. Methods: It is a narra… Show more

“…Management of PPT often pivots on the severity of the associated intracranial complications. In the past, craniotomy was the preferred treatment for PPT; however, ESS has been increasingly favored for minimally invasive cases that present with no intracranial complications [12][13][14]. This was mirrored in our patient's treatment protocol, where initial conservative management with antibiotics and ultrasound-guided drainage was deemed sufficient due to the absence of neurological symptoms, followed by ESS rather than more invasive neurosurgical procedures.…”
