Superficial temporal-artery aneurysm.
We report finding at surgery a histopathologically-confirmed superficial temporal-artery aneurysm. To our knowledge, this is the first report of this type of aneurysm in the ophthalmic literature. The ophthalmologist must include this condition in the differential diagnosis of a pulsatile and tender temporal artery, especially when a history of trauma is present.
