Pott's puffy tumor is rarely seen in the modern era of antibiotics. It is usually seen as intracranial complication following inappropriately treated frontal sinusitis. Up until 2001 there have been only 21 pediatric cases reported in the literature and most have been secondary to frontal sinusitis. Only 1 case has been reported following a latent mastoiditis and that has been in an adult [1]. We report a case in a child who developed Pott's puffy tumor following mastoiditis.
在抗生素应用的现代时期,波特氏浮肿性肿瘤很少见。它通常被视为不适当治疗的额窦炎后的颅内并发症。直到2001年,文献中仅报道了21例儿科病例,且大多数继发于额窦炎。仅有1例报道继发于潜伏性乳突炎,且该病例为成人[1]。我们报告了1例儿童在患乳突炎后发生波特氏浮肿性肿瘤的病例。
