Superficial temporal artery (STA) aneurysms are very rare, and usually occur in young adult men due to blunt trauma as pseudoaneurysms. An 85-year-old male presented with two non-traumatic STA aneurysms. The aneurysms were ligated and resected. Histological examination showed arteriosclerotic fusiform aneurysm. The pathogenesis of non-traumatic aneurysm of the STA appears to be arteriosclerotic change and/or hemodynamic stress.
颞浅动脉(STA)动脉瘤非常罕见,通常因钝性创伤以假性动脉瘤的形式发生于年轻成年男性。一名85岁男性出现了两个非创伤性STA动脉瘤。对这些动脉瘤进行了结扎和切除。组织学检查显示为动脉硬化性梭形动脉瘤。STA非创伤性动脉瘤的发病机制似乎是动脉硬化改变和/或血流动力学应激。
