摘要：

We report a case of Pott's puffy tumor (PPT) with Pseudomonas infection occurring after acupuncture therapy in a ventilator-dependent child. Acupuncture use has been growing during the past decade in the whole world. Infectious complications range from benign to lethal. PPT is a subperiosteal abscess of the frontal bone associated with underlying osteomyelitis. It presents as a localised swelling of the forehead. This paper describes a 12-year-old girl with PPT. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of PTT caused by acupuncture therapy.
