Case Reports: Learning from unexpected outcome (positive or negative)
Spontaneous resolution of superficial temporal artery pseudoaneurysm

Abstract

Superficial temporal artery (STA) pseudoaneurysms are rare vascular lesions that typically present after traumatic head injury. Currently, surgery is the recommended treatment as spontaneous resolution has not been previously reported. Our study aims to present a review of the literature on STA pseudoaneurysms and report a case of spontaneous resolution of a traumatic STA pseudoaneurysm without the need for direct intervention.
