Abstract
A blow sustained to the head while wrestling may produce frontal osteomyelitisand its complications, Potts puffy tumor and epidural abscess. The symptoms may be minimal and may be manifested only by a mild headache and occasional stuffy nose. A 16-year-old boy was studied one month after a head injury sustained while wrestling, complaining only of recurrent headaches and fever. A fluctuant mass was found in the midfrontal area. Frontal sinusitis, subper- iosteal abscess, epidural abscess, and frontal osteomyelitis were found at surgery. The frontal bone involved by the osteomyelitis was debrided, and the epidural abscess was evaluated. Verf.-Referat
