A subperiostal abscess of the frontal bone as a complication of osteomyelitis, appearing as a puffy, indolent tumor of the forehead, was first described by Pott. This less-common complication of is known as Pott's Puffy tumor. The complications of Pott's Puffy tumor are preseptal and orbital cellulites by downward spread to the orbit and intracranial infection by posterior extension. We present a case of Pott's Puffy tumor complicated by intracranial infection imaged by means of multidetector computed tomography.
额骨骨膜下脓肿作为骨髓炎的一种并发症，表现为前额肿胀、无痛性肿块，最早由波特描述。这种较罕见的并发症被称为波特氏肿。波特氏肿的并发症包括向下蔓延至眼眶引起的眶隔前蜂窝织炎和眶蜂窝织炎，以及向后蔓延引起的颅内感染。我们报告一例通过多排螺旋计算机断层扫描成像的并发颅内感染的波特氏肿病例。
