Pott’s puffy tumor is described in the literature as a subperiosteal abscess of the frontal region accompanied by osteomyelitis. It is most common in young adults. The aim of this study is to draw attention to this rare disease whose course may be atypical and the delay in making the diagnosis may be fatal due to the high frequency of intracranial complications. This condition was first described in 1789 by Sir Percivall Pott - well-known English surgeon, as a complication of head injury. However, most cases of Pott’s tumor are complications of acute frontal sinusitis. This paper presents the case of a 3-year-old boy with a Pott’s puffy tumor of the frontal area. Differential diagnosis included the orbital complication of sinusitis, an insect bite, an allergic reaction. Due to the presence of intracranial complications in the form of an epidural abscess, the boy was transferred for further treatment to the Department of Pediatric Neurosurgery, where the abscess was drained. After the procedure, the boy’s condition was stable and in the control computed tomography performed less than a month after the surgical treatment, the previously described changes were no longer present.

Guz Potta opisywany jest w literaturze jako ropień podokostnowy okolicy czołowej z towarzyszącym zapaleniem szpiku kości czołowej. Najczęściej występuje u młodych dorosłych. Celem niniejszej pracy jest zwrócenie uwagi na tą rzadką jednostkę chorobową, której przebieg może być nietypowy, a opóźnienie w postawieniu diagnozy może, ze względu na czę- stość powikłań wewnątrzczaszkowych być fatalne w skutkach. Stan ten po raz pierwszy został opisany w 1789 roku przez sir Percivalla Pott’a, znanego angielskiego chirurga jako powikłanie urazu głowy. Jednakże większość przypadków guza Potta stanowią powikłania ostrego zapalenia zatok czołowych. W niniejszej pracy przedstawiono przypadek 3-letniego chłopca z guzem Potta okolicy czołowej. W diagnostyce różnicowej wzięto pod uwagę między innymi oczodołowe powikłanie zapalenia zatok, ukąszenie przez owada, reakcję alergiczną. Ze względu na obecność powikłań wewnątrzczaszkowych pod postacią ropnia nadtwardówkowego chłopca przekazano celem dalszego leczenia do Kliniki Neurochirurgii Dziecięcej, gdzie miał miejsce drenaż ropnia. Po zabiegu stan chłopca był stabilny, a w kontrolnej tomografii komputerowej wykonanej niespełna miesiąc po leczeniu operacyjnym nie uwidoczniono wcześniej opisywanych zmian.

Antibiotic therapy in the cystic fibrosis (CF) mouse model has been shown to result in reduced bacterial load of the intestine and significant body mass gain. The effect was suggested to be linked to the improvement of intestinal digestion and absorption. Therefore, we aimed to assess the influence of routinely applied antibiotic therapy in CF patients on fat assimilation. Twenty-four CF patients aged 6 to 30 years entered the study. Inclusion criteria comprised confirmed exocrine pancreatic insufficiency and bronchopulmonary exacerbation demanding antibiotic therapy. Exclusion criteria comprised: antibiotic therapy six weeks prior to the test, liver cirrhosis, diabetes mellitus, oxygen dependency, the use of systemic corticosteroids. In all enrolled CF subjects, 13C-labelled mixed triglyceride breath test (13C MTG-BT) was performed to assess lipid digestion and absorption, before and after antibiotic therapy. Sixteen subjects were treated intravenously with ceftazidime and amikacin, eight patients orally with ciprofloxacin. Cumulative percentage dose recovery (CPDR) was considered to reflect digestion and absorption of lipids. The values are expressed as means (medians). The values of CPDR before and after antibiotic therapy did not differ in the whole studied group [4.6(3.3) % vs. 5.7(5.3) %, p = 0.100] as well as in the subgroup receiving them intravenously [4.6(3.2) % vs. 5.7(5.3) %, p = 0.327] or in that with oral drug administration [4.6(3.4) % vs. 5.7(5.4) %, p = 0.167]. In conclusion, antibiotic therapy applied routinely in the course of pulmonary exacerbation in CF patients does not seem to result in an improvement of fat digestion and absorption.
