title: Traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the superficial temporal artery treated by endovascular coil embolization.
abstract: We describe an exceptional case of a traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the superficial temporal artery (STA), which was treated with microcoil embolization of the anterior branch of the STA. We conclude that endovascular coil embolization can be an option of in the treatment of STA pseudoaneurysms.
