Pott's puffy tumor (PPT) is a rare complication of sinusitis characterized by subperiosteal abscess and osteomyelitis of the frontal bone. Early diagnosis and treatment is vital before it causes intracranial complications such as subdural empyema or brain abscess. Herein we describe the case of a 12-year-old patient who developed preseptal cellulitis and PPT, and was successfully treated with abscess drainage, sinus surgery and long-term antibiotic therapy.
波特氏浮肿性骨炎（PPT）是鼻窦炎的一种罕见并发症，其特征为额骨骨膜下脓肿和骨髓炎。在引发诸如硬膜下积脓或脑脓肿等颅内并发症之前，早期诊断和治疗至关重要。在此，我们描述一例12岁患者，该患者发生了眶隔前蜂窝织炎和波特氏浮肿性骨炎，并通过脓肿引流、鼻窦手术及长期抗生素治疗成功治愈。
