“…In 1740, Thomas Bartholin was the first to report a case of a temporal artery aneurysm. 8 Trauma is the most common cause of STA aneurysms, accounting for 85% to 95% of reported cases, 5,[9][10][11][12][13][14][15] with just a handful of cases reported as congenital or degenerative secondary to atherosclerosis. 3,16 The nature of the trauma leading to an STA aneurysm has changed from the earlier to more contemporary literature.…”

This is a case report of a 72-year-old female who presented to our clinic with right temple mass that was found incidentally on a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of her head about 2 years ago, as part of a stroke workup. However, it was thought to be a sebaceous cyst and left as such. The patient then experienced a rapid increase in the size of the mass about 2 weeks prior to her presentation to us. On examination, she had a 2 × 2 cm pulsating aneurysmal mass over the right temporal fossa, which was felt to be an aneurysm of the superficial temporal artery and was confirmed by a color duplex ultrasound examination. Open surgical resection with primary ligation of both proximal and distal branches was achieved under local anesthesia. Pathology confirmed a true (degenerative) aneurysm of the superficial temporal artery. Her postoperative course was uneventful. This case report describes this rare entity along with a review of the literature.

“…7). 5 Direct blows by fists 6 or blunt objects cause many of these lesions, but sports‐related injuries including blows from squash balls, hockey pucks, and baseballs have all been reported. 2 There are numerous reports in the neurosurgical literature of pseudoaneurysms after craniotomy 7 and especially after extracranial‐intracranial revascularization procedures.…”

“…In 1970 Schechter and Gutstein 4 reviewed the subject again and accounted for a total of 131 STA aneurysms. In 1972 Mastsubara et al 5 reviewed the English literature and could account for only 124 total cases. With both reviews compiled, the total comes to 139 cases.…”
