Frontal sinusitis is a common encounter in otorhinolaryngology practice. Most patients will present with frontal headache which worsens on bending forward, reduced sense of smell and sometimes cacosmia. Pott’s puffy tumour is an osteomyelitis of the frontal bone, which was originally described as a result of trauma, but it can also develop as a result of frontal sinusitis. We present a rare case of a rapidly progressing Pott’s puffy tumour involving the frontal sinus. The oedema subsided after antibiotic treatment and the patient underwent functional endoscopic sinus surgery.

Zapalenie zatok czołowych jest często spotykanym schorzeniem w praktyce otorynolaryngologicznej. U większości pacjentów obserwuje się ból w okolicy czołowej nasilający się podczas pochylania do przodu, upośledzenie zmysłu węchu, a w niektórych przypadkach kakosmię. Guz Potta to zapalenie kości i szpiku w obrębie kości czołowej – pierwotnie opisywano go jako następstwo urazu, jednak może być również spowodowany zapaleniem zatok czołowych. W pracy przedstawiono przypadek guza Potta obejmującego zatokę czołową i charakteryzującego się szybką progresją. Po ustąpieniu obrzęku w wyniku zastosowanej antybiotykoterapii pacjenta poddano zabiegowi czynnościowo-endoskopowej chirurgii zatok przynosowych.

During last decades Draf III procedure gained popularity in treatment of different pathologies of the frontal sinus such as chronic sinusitis or benign tumors. We present a series of 10 patients treated with this procedure from a 2 year-period. Indications included: chronic rhinosinusitis – four patients, frontal sinus mucocele – four patients (one with destruction of the posterior table), osteoma – one patient (stage 3 according to Kennedy’s grading system), and inverted papilloma – one patient (Krouse T3 lesion). Observation period ranged from 4 months to 2 years. Results: There were no early complications. Gradual narrowing of the created ostium was observed in all of the patients. This led to total obstruction in two, and stenosis (not allowing for passing with 4 mm endoscope) in another two patients. The patient after inverted papilloma removal showed no recurrence in 11 months follow-up. Conclusion: Draf III procedure is alternative for external approach that can be used for treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis and benign frontal sinus tumors of different size.
