Congenital True Aneurysm of the Right Superficial Temporal Artery

INTRODUCTION: Superficial temporal artery aneurysms (STAAs) occur in 1% of arterial aneurysms; mostly (95%) are pseudoaneurysms following trauma; true aneurysms are rare (5%); forty-five cases are reported. AIM: To report a rare case of a congenital STAAA. CASE REPORT: A67-year-old patient recalled...

description INTRODUCTION: Superficial temporal artery aneurysms (STAAs) occur in 1% of arterial aneurysms; mostly (95%) are pseudoaneurysms following trauma; true aneurysms are rare (5%); forty-five cases are reported. AIM: To report a rare case of a congenital STAAA. CASE REPORT: A67-year-old patient recalled the existence of a true-histologically evidenced- aneurysm of the right superficial temporal artery since his childhood denying any head injury; it was resected through a horizontal skin incisure. Brain arteries’ magnetic imaging was negative. CONCLUSION: Spontaneous or congenital STAAs have to be removed respecting forehead lines. Intracranial vasculature must be investigated.
