Özet
Pott’s puffy tumor is a rare and serious complication of frontal sinus-itis, characterized by the development of osteomyelitis and subperios-tal abscess in the frontal bone. Paranasal sinus osteomas are benign osteoblastic tumors, usually seen in the 3rd and 4th decades of life. In this report, we present a case of Pott’s puffy tumor due to frontal sinus osteoma in an adolescent male patient. In the literature, we found no similar case in the pediatric age group and we wanted to emphasize the development of Pott’s tumor as a rare complication of chronic or recurrent sinusitis and draw attention to the fact that paranasal sinus osteomas may be the underlying cause.
