- Treatment of an atherosclerotic aneurysm of the superficial temporal artery: case report Paula Dayana Matkovski Jorge Oliveira da Rocha Filho Patrick Cardoso Candemil Fabrício Zucco Walmor Erwin Belz João Marcelo Gonçalves da Rocha Loures Milton Sérgio Bohatch Júnior Renan Cardoso Candemil Medicina surgery Aneurysm atherosclerosis According to the literature, aneurysms of the superficial temporal artery are uncommon. The vast majority are secondary to trauma or surgery in the temporal region and 95% of cases progress to pseudoaneurysms. However, true or spontaneous aneurysms are extremely rare, accounting for 8% of cases of superficial temporal artery aneurysms, and are usually caused by atherosclerosis. Spontaneous temporal aneurysms can coexist with other vascular lesions, including intracranial aneurysms. Our report deals with a patient with an aneurysm of the left superficial temporal artery, of atherosclerotic origin, for whom surgical excision was performed under general anesthesia. 2015 artículo científico 1677-5449 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=245042197015 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=2450 Jornal Vascular Brasileiro application/pdf Sociedade Brasileira de Angiologia e de Cirurgia Vascular Jornal Vascular Brasileiro (Brasil) Num.3 Vol.14
