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.

Özet

Süperfisyel temporal arter (STA) anevrizması nadir görülür ve genellikle travma kaynaklıdır. Bu yazıda travmaya sekonder olarak STA psödoanevrizması gelişen 23 yaşında erkek hasta ve cerrahi tedavisi sunuldu. Sol temporal bölgede yaklaşık bir ay önce düşme sonrası meydana gelen şişlik ve baş ağrısı yakınması ile kliniğimize başvuran hastanın fiziksel incelemesinde aynı bölgede 1,5 x 1,5 cm boyutlarında pulsatil kitle saptandı. Nörolojik muayenesinde bir özellik yoktu. Anjiyografide sol STA’dan kaynaklanan psödoanevrizma saptandı. Lokal anestezi altında temporal arter ligasyonu ve anevrizmektomi uygulandı. Hastanın ameliyat sonrası klinik seyri sorunsuz seyretti.
