Abstract:
Pott\'s puffy tumors are assumed to be infrequent concomitant intra- and extracranial abscesses, mainly secondary to complicated frontal sinusitis during infancy. Due to the close proximity to the superior sagittal sinus, there is a risk of developing venous infections, thrombosis, and morbidity. In this case report, we present a case of an 11-year-old girl who presented with headache and face edema. After recognizing the Pott\'s puffy tumor pattern on the CT scan and brain MRI, the neurosurgical approach involved pus evacuation and frontal sinus blockage, and the patient received antibiotic therapy and was evaluated for total recovery. To our knowledge, the prompt diagnosis and treatment of such conditions are paramount to avoid complications, and differential diagnosis should be encouraged in medical practice.
摘要:
Pott的浮肿肿瘤被认为是罕见的颅内和颅外脓肿,主要继发于婴儿期复杂的额窦炎。由于靠近上矢状窦,有静脉感染的风险,血栓形成,和发病率。在这个案例报告中,我们介绍了一个11岁女孩的病例,她出现了头痛和面部水肿。在CT扫描和脑部MRI上识别出Pott的肿瘤模式后,神经外科手术方法包括脓液排出和额窦阻塞,患者接受了抗生素治疗,并对患者的总恢复情况进行了评估.据我们所知,及时诊断和治疗这些疾病对于避免并发症至关重要,在医疗实践中应鼓励鉴别诊断。
