“…From the 38 bilateral examinations, only 10 cases (26 %) demonstrated an identical type and subtype of the STA pattern according to the anatomic variations described by Medved et al [15]. Six of them demonstrated a bilateral type A, two of them a bilateral type C1, another one a bilateral type C3 and one case a bilateral type E1 pattern.…”

“…Measurements of the inner diameters of the following segments were performed and denoted with the lowercase letters in brackets as described in Medved et al [15]: the main trunk directly after its origin (o), the STA bifurcation directly (b), the frontal (f) and parietal (p) branches directly after the bifurcation. Measurements of the following absolute vessel lengths were performed and denoted with the capital letters in brackets as described in Medved et al [15]: between the origin of the STA from the external carotid artery and the main bifurcation (C), between the main bifurcation and the level, where the inner diameters of the frontal and/or parietal branches reach 1 mm (F and/ or P).…”

“…The aim of the current study was the intra-individual, bilateral comparison of the vascular pattern of the STA based on digital subtraction angiography (DSA) taking into account the new classification of its branching pattern mentioned above [15]. Furthermore, intra-individual differences of corresponding diameters and lengths of the STA and its main branches were assessed to give more insights in planning microsurgical procedures based on these vessels in the future.…”

The superficial temporal artery: A meta‐analysis of its prevalence and morphology

et al. 2020

Introduction: The superficial temporal artery (STA) is a terminal branch of the external carotid artery. It supplies the regions of scalp and face. The morphometrical data concerning STAs are not consistent; therefore, in this systemic review and meta-analysis, we aimed in this to provide an up-to-date data on its anatomic features. Material and methods: In order to do this, PubMed, Embase, ScienceDirect, and Web of Science were searched. We followed the Preferred Reporting Items and Review and Meta-Analyses guidelines for the meta-analysis. Studies that reported the prevalence and anatomical data regarding STA were included in further analyses. Results: Out of 1,446 studies initially evaluated, 21 were included in the metaanalysis (874 patients/donors). The STA diameter was 1.5 mm (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.47-1.53 mm). The frontal and parietal branches of the STA were present in 97.6% (95% CIs: 94.6-99.5%) and 96.4% (95% CIs: 93.5-98.5%) of the cases, respectively. The STA bifurcation point was located above the zygomatic arch in 79.1% (95% CI: 68.0-84.3), below the zygomatic arch in 6.7% (95% CI: 2.4-12.1), and on the zygomatic arch in 11.1% of the cases (95% CI: 5.4-17.5). There was no bifurcation of the STA in 3.1% of the cases (95% CI: 0.4-7.3). Conclusion: The most comprehensive analysis of STA morphological features is presented. The results from this evidence-based anatomical study will improve understanding of the clinical STA anatomy, which in turn has major implications for understanding the STA in clinical practice.

Application of free temporoparietal fascial flap for recurrent neural adhesion of superficial radial nerve—A case report

et al. 2015

Because of its anatomical location, the superficial radial nerve is vulnerable to trauma as well as injury during various surgical procedures. Once the nerve adheres to surrounding scar tissue, radiating pain often occurs due to nerve traction caused by loss of smooth gliding. Since it has been reported that the success rate with neurolysis only is lower, additional preventive procedures for recurrent neural readhesion are recommended. In the current report, we describe our experience performing neurolysis followed by nerve coverage using a free temporoparietal fascial flap for recurrent neural adhesion of the superficial radial nerve. A 45-year-old male complained of motion pain of the left wrist and thumb joints caused by recurrent neural adhesion of the superficial radial nerve after a chain saw trauma and following multiple reconstructive procedures. The radiating pain completely disappeared after neurolysis performed by a previous surgeon; however, it recurred 4 weeks later. Four months after the previous neurolysis the patient underwent external neurolysis and covering of the nerve with a free temporoparietal fascial flap to prevent neural readhesion because local soft tissue could not be used due to the massive scar tissues on the forearm. One year after the secondary neurolysis, the symptoms of radiating pain during wrist and thumb motion were drastically improved. A free adipofascial flap such as a temporoparietal flap may be an option for prevention of neural readhesion after neurolysis of the superficial radial nerve in cases where a local flap cannot be used on the forearm.
