Abstract
The superficial temporal artery (STA) is a structure that is particularly vulnerable to injury, given its prominent location in the head and neck region. Pseudoaneurysms of this artery may be encountered during the management of maxillofacial trauma. This article presents a review of the relevant literature on this topic. One of the common surgical interventions includes ligation of the entire feeding artery, which compromises the corresponding blood supply. Preservation of the main trunk of the STA can be achieved in certain cases; one such case is detailed in this report.
