Although carbuncles are commonly seen and may heal on their own or respond well to treatment, in rare conditions, bacteria from carbuncles can spread into the bloodstream and migrate to other areas of the body. Herein, we report on an elderly female who suffered from forehead carbuncle with intractable headache, later confirmed as having subgaleal abscess. Physicians should pay special attention to elderly and immune-compromised patients with carbuncles located on the middle of the face, especially when accompanied by intractable headache, to avoid poor outcome.
虽然痈很常见，可能会自行愈合或对治疗反应良好，但在罕见情况下，痈中的细菌可扩散到血液中并迁移至身体其他部位。在此，我们报告一名老年女性，她患有前额痈并伴有顽固性头痛，后来确诊为帽状腱膜下脓肿。医生应特别关注面部中部患有痈的老年患者和免疫功能低下患者，尤其是伴有顽固性头痛时，以避免不良后果。
