Review Case Reports
[Pott's Puffy tumor: a forgotten complication of sinusitis].
Pott's puffy tumor is a rare entity characterized by a swelling of the scalp due to a subperiosteal abscess associated to osteomyelitis in the frontal bone. It is often associated with a complication of frontal sinusitis or trauma. Undiagnosed or partially treated frontal sinusitis can lead to Pott's puffy tumor, which requires rapid medical and surgical intervention to prevent complications that increase morbidity and mortality. ⋯ We present a case of Pott's puffy tumor in a 15-year-old boy. This case is even more unusual because the tumor became complicated with orbital and intracranial involvement. The findings at computed tomography provided the key to the diagnosis in this patient.

Comparative Study
[Is H1N1 flu different from seasonal flu on initial plain chest films?].
To determine whether there are differences in the findings on the initial plain chest films of patients with H1N1 influenza and those of patients with flu symptoms during the flu season. ⋯ We found significant differences between the radiologic findings of patients with H1N1 influenza (severe) and those of patients with symptoms of flu during the flu season: the incidence of multifocal patchy consolidation was greater in H1N1 patients and H1N1 patients were younger.
