We report a case of a child with Pott's puffy tumor (PPT) in which ultrasonography contributed to making the diagnosis. The clinical presentation and laboratory investigations were inconclusive, and the diagnosis of PPT was made by ultrasonography and subsequently confirms CT scan and MRI. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
