title: Spontaneously arising superficial temporal artery aneurysms: a report of two cases and review of the literature.
abstract: The majority of superficial temporal artery (STA) aneurysms are due to trauma and are, in reality, false aneurysms. However, true STA aneurysms are extremely rare. Here, we present two cases of spontaneous superficial temporal artery aneurysms arising without any previous history of trauma.
