The superficial temporal artery (STA) is an important continuation of the external carotid artery. It is divided into the frontal branch and the parietal branch at or above the zygomatic arch. In the present study, a comparative analysis of the STA in patients with and without moyamoya disease (MMD) was performed using CT angiography. Patients admitted to our institution for spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage were potential candidates. In general, 25 cases (50 sides) in the MMD group and 25 cases (50 sides) in the non-MMD group were selected for evaluation. The morphology of the STA when crossing the zygomatic arch, the association between the STA bifurcation and the zygomatic arch, the branching characteristics of the STA, the parameters of the STA bifurcation point, the diameter of the STA and the distance from the origin of the STA to the bifurcation point were selected for analysis. There were no significant differences between the two groups with regard to the association between the STA bifurcation and the zygomatic arch, the diameter of the STA or the distance from the origin of the STA to the bifurcation point. However, the bifurcation point of the STA was closer to the posterior edge of the mandibular condyle in the patients with MMD.
颞浅动脉（STA）是颈外动脉的重要延续。它在颧弓处或颧弓上方分为额支和顶支。在本研究中，使用CT血管造影对有和没有烟雾病（MMD）的患者的颞浅动脉进行了对比分析。因自发性颅内出血入住我院的患者为潜在研究对象。一般来说，烟雾病组选取25例（50侧），非烟雾病组选取25例（50侧）进行评估。选取颞浅动脉穿过颧弓时的形态、颞浅动脉分叉与颧弓的关系、颞浅动脉的分支特征、颞浅动脉分叉点参数、颞浅动脉直径以及颞浅动脉起点至分叉点的距离进行分析。两组在颞浅动脉分叉与颧弓的关系、颞浅动脉直径或颞浅动脉起点至分叉点的距离方面无显著差异。然而，烟雾病患者的颞浅动脉分叉点更靠近下颌髁突后缘。
