ABSTRACT
Pseudoaneurysm of the superficial temporal artery is very rare and can potentially be a critical cause of facial masses. Most pseudoaneurysms form as a result of blunt trauma and present as painless, pulsatile tumors that may be associated with neuropathic findings and enlarged size. They can be accurately diagnosed through physical examination alone. The treatment of choice is surgical ligation and resection. We present a case of traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the superficial temporal artery caused by blunt injury and discuss pertinent diagnosis and treatment option.
