Anterior table remodeling after treatment for Pott's puffy tumor.

Corbin D Sullivan1, David M Poetker.   

Abstract

We report a case of near-complete remodeling of the anterior table of the frontal sinus after treatment for an erosive Pott's Puffy Tumor. A 61-year-old male presented with progressive swelling of his left forehead. Examination showed a doughy left forehead mass, and a sinus CT showed a lateral left frontal sinus mucocele with complete anterior table erosion. Frontal trephination with marsupialization of the mucocele was performed, and at 8 month follow-up, the patient had no visible defect and only minimally palpable bony defect. The anterior table had remodeled with no additional intervention resulting in a cosmetic outcome imperceptible from the patient's baseline.
