Traumatic aneurysms of the superficial temporal artery

I C Bailey, Joel Kiryabwire

Open publisher page 29 citations

Abstract

Abstract Six patients with aneurysm of the superficial temporal artery are reported from Africa. The presenting symptom was a pulsating swelling in the temporal region, and blunt trauma to the side of the head was the aetiological agent in every case. Treatment by surgical excision is advocated. It is suggested that aneurysms of the superficial temporal artery occur more frequently than reports in the literature suggest.
