Pseudoaneurysm of the Superficial Temporal Artery—Two Case Reports of a Rare Entity

Abstract

In this paper, the authors present two case reports with patients who presented at different institutions for traumatic aneurysmal dilation of temporal vessels. The first case is a 18-year-old male who presented to plastic surgery following attempted excision by an outside provider after a fist fight. The second case is a 22-year-old male who presented to plastic surgery while inpatient after gunshot wound to the face. The differences in the cases are highlighted by the different approaches to the management of the lesions with direct incision and embolization respectively.
