“…The characteristics of included studies are presented in Table 1. Of 21 included studies, eight were based on radiological imaging (Bettoni et al, 2018;Cobb, Galvin, & Gonzalez, 2016;Doscher et al, 2015;Kim, Jung, Chang, & Choi, 2013;Koziej et al, 2018;Kuruoglu, Cokluk, Marangoz, & Aydin, 2015;Manoli et al, 2016;Medved et al, 2015), 12 were based on cadaveric anatomical studies (Chen et al, 1999;Fan, Zhang, Yang, & Huang, 2010;Imanishi, Nakajima, Minabe, Chang, & Aiso, 2002;Kawashima et al, 2005;Kleintjes, 2007;Lee et al, 2014;Lei et al, 2005;Marano, Fischer, Gaines, & Sonntag, 1985;Mwachaka, Sinkeet, & OgengO, 2010;Pinar & Govsa, 2006;Ricbourg, Mitz, & Lassau, 1975;Tayfur, Edizer, & Magden, 2010), and one study included both methodologies (Stock et al, 1980).…”

Introduction: The superficial temporal artery (STA) is a terminal branch of the external carotid artery. It supplies the regions of scalp and face. The morphometrical data concerning STAs are not consistent; therefore, in this systemic review and meta-analysis, we aimed in this to provide an up-to-date data on its anatomic features. Material and methods: In order to do this, PubMed, Embase, ScienceDirect, and Web of Science were searched. We followed the Preferred Reporting Items and Review and Meta-Analyses guidelines for the meta-analysis. Studies that reported the prevalence and anatomical data regarding STA were included in further analyses. Results: Out of 1,446 studies initially evaluated, 21 were included in the metaanalysis (874 patients/donors). The STA diameter was 1.5 mm (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.47-1.53 mm). The frontal and parietal branches of the STA were present in 97.6% (95% CIs: 94.6-99.5%) and 96.4% (95% CIs: 93.5-98.5%) of the cases, respectively. The STA bifurcation point was located above the zygomatic arch in 79.1% (95% CI: 68.0-84.3), below the zygomatic arch in 6.7% (95% CI: 2.4-12.1), and on the zygomatic arch in 11.1% of the cases (95% CI: 5.4-17.5). There was no bifurcation of the STA in 3.1% of the cases (95% CI: 0.4-7.3). Conclusion: The most comprehensive analysis of STA morphological features is presented. The results from this evidence-based anatomical study will improve understanding of the clinical STA anatomy, which in turn has major implications for understanding the STA in clinical practice.

“…On the basis of this classification, Manoli et al concluded that the anatomical morphology of the STA in the same person is random. Interestingly, in only 26% of the studied cases was the branching pattern consistent on both sides (35). Mwachaka et al examined the anatomy of 30 cadavers of Kenyan ethnicity, and reported 4 branching patterns.…”

Objective. The aim of this review was to present the vascular pattern of the STA, as well as anatomical variations, and to accentuate the areas which should be taken into consideration during manipulations along the course of the artery.Background. The STA may be encountered during several aesthetic procedures on the face, and iatrogenic trauma could be an incriminating factor of diverse sequelae. The constant increase in demand for facial aesthetic procedures has rendered it imperative to maximize safety and patient satisfaction.Methods. We conducted a narrative literature review using the electronic databases of PubMed and Google Scholar, retrieving studies concerning the anatomy and variations of the STA. Moreover, we identified registered clinical cases presenting complications which involved the artery.Discussion. The anatomic morphology of the STA is described and classification systems summarized, on the basis of the studies retrieved. In addition, the STA is related to defined landmarks, and specific danger zones are emphasized. Finally, the clinical significance of the artery is reflected in registered cases of adverse events following specific aesthetic surgeries.Conclusion. Thorough knowledge of the anatomical variability of the STA, and awareness of the danger zones involved in aesthetic procedures, combined with intraoperative vigilance could increase safety and minimize the advent of relevant sequelae.

The superficial temporal artery (STA) plays a very important role in neurovascular diseases and procedures. However, until now, no comprehensive review of the role of STA in neurovascular diseases from a neurosurgical perspective has ever been published. To review research on the clinical importance of STA in neurovascular diseases, a literature search was performed using the PubMed database. Articles were screened for suitability and data relevance. This paper was organized following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. According to the literature, STA is one of the terminal branches of the external carotid artery and can give off scalp, muscle, and transosseous branches. STA-middle cerebral artery (MCA) bypass is very useful for intracranial ischemic diseases, including moyamoya disease, chronic ICA and MCA insufficiency, and even acute ischemic stroke. For intracranial complex aneurysms, STA bypass remains a major option that can serve as flow replacement bypass during aneurysmal trapping or insurance bypass during temporary parent artery occlusion. Occasionally, the STA can also be involved in dural AVFs (DAVFs) via to its transosseous branches. In addition, the STA can be used as an intraoperative angiography path and the path to provide endovascular treatments. Therefore, STA is a very important artery in neurovascular diseases.
