Abstract:
Superficial temporal artery (STA) aneurysm is rare and usually caused by trauma. In this report, a 23-year-old man who had a left STA pseudoaneurysm which was secondary to blunt trauma and its surgical treatment was presented. A patient was admitted to our clinic with the complaints of a bulge in the left temporal location that had developed almost a month ago subsequent to a fall and headache. We discovered a pulsatile mass, with 1.5 x 1.5 cm in size, at the left temporal region, on the physical examination. Neurological examination was normal. Angiography revealed pseudoaneurysm originating from superficial temporal artery. Under local anesthesia, temporal artery ligation and aneurysmectomy were performed. Postoperative course was uneventful.
