Characteristics and therapeutic strategies of Potts puffy tumor
Objective:To explore the characteristics and therapeutic strategies of Pott's puffy tumor(PPT).Methods:The clinical data of two patients with PPT were retrospectively analyzed and combined with the litera-ture,focusing on the comprehensive analysis of perioperative diagnosis and treatment strategies.Both patients un-derwent muti-disciplinary treatment,including timely administration of sufficient antibiotics capable of penetrating the blood-brain barrier.Early removal of PPT lesions was performed using a combined internal and external ap-proach under nasal endoscopic guidance.Results:After standardized perioperative management,the symptoms of the two patients were completely relieved,with no recurrence after one=year follow=up.Postoperative complica-tions such as frontal pain,numbness,local depression,or scar hyperplasiawere not present.Conclusion:PPT,being relatively rare and severe,requires careful attention.Key strategies for standardized perioperative manage-ment include multi-disciplinary consultation,timely and adequate antibiotic administration,and surgical interven-tion using a combined intranasal and extranasal endoscopic approach for lesion removal.
