Pott's puffy tumour is a lesser known clinical entity usually seen as complication of frontal sinusitis or trauma to frontal bone. Patients typically present with fluctuant swelling of the frontal region. It can lead to significant morbidity if not diagnosed and treated promptly. We herein present a series of three cases with diagnosis of Pott's puffy tumour, two cases following acute bacterial frontal sinusitis and third case presenting as complication of allergic fungal sinusitis. We discuss the presentation, diagnostic and treatment of Pott's puffy tumour.
