Abstract
The Pott’s puffy tumor has become an infrequent entity since the advent of antibiotic therapy. It is defined as a subperiosteal abscess arising from frontal bone osteomyelitis. We report two cases of PPT due to intreated frontal sinusitis and confirmed by computed tomography scan. Early surgery associated with long-term intravenous antibiotics is required to obtain a good recovery and prevent life-threatening intracranial complications.
