ABSTRACT
Two cases of iatrogenically induced false aneurysm of the superficial temporal artery are presented. One patient showed partially filled aneurysmal sac, 1x1 cm sized, on the main trunk of left superficial temporal artery by external carotid artery angiography. Another patient showed aneurysmal dilatation, 3x2 cm sized, of the superficial temporal artery with direct injection of Urograffin into the pulsatile mass. Aneurysm excision is indicated to reduce the risk of hemorrhage from the subsequent head trauma, to relieve headache, and for any cosmetic defect. The authors have reviewed the literature and discussed the incidence, classification, pathogenesis, clinical and angiographic diagnosis, differential diagnosis, and treatment.
Key Words: Traumatic false aneurysm; Superficial temporal artery
