Abstract
|
|
|
|
Pseudoaneurysms form when a hemorrhage or hematoma from the injured arterial wall is replaced with an fibrous vessel wall, which is dilated by subsequent pulsating pressure. Recently, we experienced a patient with a pulsatile preauricular mass, measuring about 1.5× 1.5 cm, sustained from blunt trauma by the baseball. The presumptive diagnosis of pseudoaneurysm of the superficial temporal artery was made by Doppler sonography. Under local anesthesia, the aneurysm was excised en bloc following ligation. We report the rare case with a review of literatures.
