    IntroductionOsteomyelitis of the frontal sinus is a rare clinical entity and generally occurs as a complication of trauma to the forehead or frontal sinusitis. It can be responsible for life-threatening complications, as the first symptoms may appear to be minor. Early diagnosis and appropriate management to prevent central nervous system complications significantly reduce the morbidity and mortality.Case ReportThe authors report the case of a 34-year-old man with Pott's puffy tumour following trauma to the frontal sinus.DiscussionThe diagnosis was suggested clinically and confirmed radiologically. Treatment was surgical with craniotomy and external drainage.Copyright © 2015. Published by Elsevier Masson SAS.
