Abstract
Pott’s puffy tumor typically occurs as a complication of frontal sinusitis, an infection and inflammation of the frontal sinuses in the forehead, just above the eyes. A 5-year-old girl was admitted to our hospital with swelling in the forehead, redness, and swelling in the right eye. We wanted to describe the successful treatment protocol with medical treatment, endoscopic sinus surgery, and external approach to the frontal region.
