RESUMEN
This is a case report of a Pott's puffy tumor, characterized by a subperiosteal abscess associated with frontal bone osteomyelitis, as a consequence of a frontal sinusitis, in a 15-year-old boy. Pott's puffy tumor is a rare condition usually seen as a complication of frontal sinusitis and more commonly described in children. Given that, superficial temporal artery pseudoaneurysms might be interpreted as a cyst or lipoma, it is imperative that physicians be aware of their presentation.

Sclerotherapy is a technique for the treatment of varicosities, vascular ectasia, and sometimes, leg varicose veins. This method is aesthetic and in some cases therapeutics and uses sclerosing agents, electrocoagulation and exceptionally LASER. These relatively simple methods are safe and efficient if they are applied with a rigorous procedure by well trained physicians.
