Dr. Sudeep Pradeep Yadav, Dr. Sagar Gundewar

Abstract :

In the literature very few cases of giant superficial temporal artery aneurysms have been reported and majority of the same are in its frontal anch. Proximal superficial temporal artery aneurysms are less frequently reported. They are usually seen after blunt or penetrating injuries to head. Clinically they present with pulsatile or non pulsatile swelling along the course of Superficial temporal artery. A detailed clinical examination should clinch on the diagnosis. Presently, surgical management is considered the gold standard treatment. The primary aim of this paper to highlight the importance of clinical evaluation in this modern day (investigative) practice.
