Post-traumatic Pott's puffy tumour: A case report.

Introduction: Osteomyelitis of the frontal sinus is a rare clinical entity and generally occurs as a complication of trauma to the forehead or frontal sinusitis. It can be responsible for life-threatening complications, as the first symptoms may appear to be minor. Early diagnosis and appropriate management to prevent central nervous system complications significantly reduce the morbidity and mortality.

Case Report: The authors report the case of a 34-year-old man with Pott's puffy tumour following trauma to the frontal sinus.

Discussion: The diagnosis was suggested clinically and confirmed radiologically. Treatment was surgical with craniotomy and external drainage.
