Pott's Puffy Tumor Following Frontal Craniotomy: A Rare Delayed Complication in a Diabetic Elderly Woman

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Pott's puffy tumor is a rare but serious complication that can occur years after neurosurgical procedures. In elderly diabetic patients, immunosuppression may obscure symptoms and delay diagnosis. Clinicians should maintain high suspicion when evaluating forehead swelling in such populations to ensure timely imaging and prevent intracranial complications.
