An 11-year-old girl with Pott’s puffy tumour Merih Is *, Ayse Karatas, Hikmet Aytekin, Murat Dosoglu, Ferruh Gezen Duzce University, School of Medicine, Department of Neurosurgery, Konuralp, 81620 Duzce, Turkey Objective: Pott’s puffy tumour (PPT) is a rare entity that is characterised by a subperiosteal abscess associated with frontal bone osteomyelitis. Case: We report a case where a frontal periosteal abscess was successfully treated with simple surgical abscess drainage, followed by prolonged broadspectrum antibiotic therapy. Conclusion: The treatment goal is early diagnosis and aggressive therapy to prevent severe complications like meningitis, subdural empyema, and brain abscess.
1645 sigmoid sinus thrombosis and an extradural abscess, following direct extension from tuberculous mastoiditis. Only one similar case has been reported in the literature. We review the world literature regarding this rare phenomenon. DOI: 10.1016/j.ijporl.2007.06.025

No: 16/17, Kizilay, Ankara, Turkey Lobular capillary hemangioma (LCH) is a hyperplastic lesion that frequently occurs due to trauma or hormonal factors either on skin or mucosal membranes. Mucosal lesions occur frequently in the oral cavity in the head and neck. Although LCH can occur in all ages, very few are reported in infants and children. Intranasal localization is very rare in this age group. We present a 12-year-old child with an intranasal mucosal LCH accompanied with a nasal foreign body. To our knowledge, our case is the first case that an intranasal LCH accompanied a foreign body in the nasal cavity. DOI: 10.1016/j.ijporl.2007.06.026

The majority of cases of calvarial tuberculosis (TB) are secondary to pulmonary TB. The most common routes of infection are via the haematogenous or lymphatic route, but direct extension can also occur. We present a rare case of a 17-year-old male patient who presented with tuberculous osteitis of the skull complicated with
