Giant traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the superficial temporal artery: Treatment challenges and case review

Abstract: Traumatic pseudoaneurysms of the superficial temporal artery are uncommon. They present to a variety of specialities - orthopaedics, ear, nose and throat, neurosurgery, maxillofacial, plastic surgery, vascular surgery and dermatology. Experience managing these lesions is therefore limited and diluted. We present a case of a giant, traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the superficial temporal artery, which required the unusual approach of staged surgical excision.

“…O grau de pulsatilidade depende da quantidade de trombo organizado e do volume da cavitação do pseudo-aneurisma. Quando não-pulsátil 19 , o diagnóstico diferencial inclui outras nodulações epidérmicas, como lipomas, cistos sebáceos, abscessos, cistos epidérmicos e fístulas traumáticas 13 e outras tumorações da pele e subjacências. Diagnóstico com exames não-invasivos, como Doppler 14 e angiotomografia 22 , pode auxiliar, porém o exame complementar padrão para o diagnóstico é a angiografia digital seletiva, que mostra a lesão, cujas características são: contorno irregular do saco aneurismático, ausência de colo bem definido, envolvimento da artéria, enchimento lento, esvaziamento tardio e menor opacidade.…”
