Introduction: The Pott Puffy tumor is a rare comorbidity, characterized by frontal osteomyelitis, causing erosion of the anterior wall of the frontal sinus and subperiosteal abscess. It is usually a complication of trauma or frontal and ethmoid sinusitis. The main etiological agent found is Staphylococcus aureus. The vast majority of cases occur in children and adolescents. With the advent of antibiotic therapy, it was a significant reduction in the frequency of infectious processes of the paranasal sinuses and their complications.
