An arteriovenous fistula of the superficial temporal artery (STA) is a direct and abnormal communication between the STA, feeding artery, and superficial temporal vein, draining veins that bypass the capillary network. Several cases of trauma-induced or iatrogenic-induced arteriovenous fistula (AVF) of the STA have been reported ; however, spontaneous AVF of the STA not associated with trauma or medical treatment are extremely rare. Herein, we present a case of spontaneous AVF of the STA diagnosed in old age. J. Med. Invest. 66 : 209-210, February, 2019.
颞浅动脉动静脉瘘是指颞浅动脉（供血动脉）与颞浅静脉（引流静脉）之间存在直接且异常的交通，绕过了毛细血管网。此前已有数例创伤性或医源性导致的颞浅动脉动静脉瘘的报道；然而，非创伤或医疗所致的自发性颞浅动脉动静脉瘘极为罕见。在此，我们报告一例老年患者诊断为自发性颞浅动脉动静脉瘘的病例。《医学调查杂志》2019年2月第66卷：209 - 210页
