Superficial Temporal Artery Aneurysm: Case Report and Review of Literature.

Superficial temporal artery (STA) aneurysms are painless, pulsatile masses that infrequently result from blunt trauma to the side of the head. Only a small number of them have been reported in the literature. We describe the diagnosis and management of a 22-year-old man who had fallen from his bicycle, resulting in an STA pseudoaneurysm, and review the pertinent literature.
