“…A few iatrogenic pseudoaneurysms are found in the femoral artery, radial artery, and forearm venous following blood sampling. 5 An iatrogenic STAP may appear during surgery for scaphocephaly, tumor resection, mandibular condylar fracture, and nerve stimulator placement for trigeminal nerve examination. 6 In the field of cosmetic medicine, although there are a few cases of STAP following face-lifting surgery 7 and botulinum toxin injection, 8 only 1 report described the diagnosis of STAP appearing after a thread-lift.…”

Summary Facial thread-lifting has been popular because of its ease and safety with short down time. However, many physicians perform the procedure in cosmetic clinics, which can result in several complications. This report describes the surgical treatment of iatrogenic superficial temporal artery pseudoaneurysm (STAP) following thread-lifting. A 27-year-old man developed a painless, pulsating soft mass in the pre-auricular region after undergoing a thread-lift in a private cosmetic clinic 3 months before being referred to the authors’ hospital. The mass was diagnosed as a STAP, using magnetic resonance imaging. The pseudoaneurysm was resected completely, and the superficial temporal artery was microsurgically reconstructed. Although there are some surgical procedures for treating STAP, such as surgical resection and embolization, the former is considered the first choice. Physicians should be trained before performing thread-lifting and must know the possibility of an iatrogenic STAP appearing after the procedure and the face and neck anatomy to prevent complications.

Venous aneurysms are benign acquired vascular lesions. A 59-year-old man developed a lesion on his right wrist that would enlarge and flatten depending on whether his arm was dependent or elevated; he had no prior history of trauma to the site. Examination of his wrist revealed a soft, compressible nodule contiguous with venous structures in the area. The history and clinical appearance established the diagnosis of a superficial venous aneurysm. Venous aneurysms typically occur on extremities, either in the superficial or deep venous systems; a prior history of trauma is often elicited. Clinical observation may be appropriate for the management of venous aneurysms; however, symptomatic lesions often require excision. In conclusion, venous aneurysms often appear in adults; trauma may or may not precede their appearance. Asymptomatic lesions may be observed, whereas surgery may be necessary to resolve the condition if the aneurysm is symptomatic.
