Abstract

AIm: The superficial temporal artery is one of the main terminal branches of the external carotid artery. This artery ascends through the lateralposterior margin of the zygomatic arch to reach the temporal region of the scalp. The superficial temporal artery divides its frontal and parietal branches around the zygomatic arch. mAterIAl and methOds: The raw data of the Three-dimensional Computerized Tomography Angiography (3D-CTA) were transferred to computer and recorded in a software program. This software program created the three-dimensional images of the superficial temporal artery using these transferred raw data with volume rendering technique. results: Fifteen cases (5 female and 10 male, mean age 54.26±12.35 years) with intracranial aneurysm were evaluated in terms of the type, location and dimensions of the fusiform enlargements. Fusiform enlargement was bilateral in eleven of the cases. Remaining four cases have unilateral fusiform enlargement of the superficial temporal artery. COnClusIOn: Fusiform enlargement of the superficial temporal artery may be seen in the cases with intracranial aneurysms. 3D-CTA should be carefully evaluated in the demonstration of extracranial-intracranial vascular pathologies.

Özet

AmAÇ: Süperfisiyal temporal arter, eksternal karotis arterin ana terminal dallarından birisidir. Bu arter, zigomatik arkın lateral-posterior sınırından saçlı derinin temporal bölgesine boyunca uzanarak yukarı çıkar. Süperfisiyal temporal arter zigomatik ark çevresinde frontal ve paryetal dallara ayrılır.yÖntem ve GereÇler: Üç boyutlu Bilgisayarlı Tomografi Anjiyografinin (3D-BTA) işlenmemiş verileri yazılım programına kaydedilerek bilgisayara transfer edildi. Bu işlenmemiş görüntülerden hacim oluşturma tekniği kullanılarak süperfisiyal temporal arterin üç boyutlu görüntüleri oluşturuldu. BulGulAr: İntrakraniyal anevrizmalı 15 olgu (5 kadın ve 10 erkek, ortalama yaş 54,26±12,35) fusiform genişlemenin tipi, yeri ve boyutu bakımından değerlendirildi. Füziform genişleme olguların 11'inde iki taraflıydı. Kalan 4 olguda süperfisiyal temporal arterin füziform genişlemesi tek taraflıydı. sOnuÇ: Süperfisiyal temporal arterin füziform genişlemesi intrakraniyal anevrizmalı olgularda gözlenebilir. 3D-BTA kraniyum içi ve dışı damarsal patolojilerin gösterilmesinde dikkatlice değerlendirilmelidir.
