“…While STA pseudoaneurysms as a result of surgery have been previously reported, the most common cause of this pathology remains blunt or penetrating trauma 3–7. It is presumed that the STA is at risk for injury and pseudoaneurysm formation during impact due to the lack of muscular cushion protecting the artery from the temporal bone underneath it 3 7–9. On the other hand, surgically induced pseudoaneurysm in this location is likely secondary to fusiform dilatation of the STA as a result microtrauma to the intima during dissection in the region of the temporal muscle 2.…”

“…Previous reports demonstrate spontaneously resolving iatrogenic PA in 89% [ 14 , 15 ]. The risk of conservative management is that the aneurysm increases in size, compression of surrounding structures causing neural dysfunction or rupture [ 3–5 ].…”
