The aim of this paper is to highlight Potts puffy tumour as a pathological entity distinct from other causes of peri- and supraorbital swelling. This uncommon condition is usually not recognised initially and is easily confused with neoplasms or local eye pathology. A case is reported and investigations and management reviewed.
