Pseudoaneurysm of the superficial temporal artery.
A 15-year-old boy developed a superficial temporal artery pseudoaneurysm as a result of blunt trauma to the left temporal area. The diagnosis was based on the ultrasonographic appearance. The left temporal region was explored, and haemostasis resulted in complete resolution of the swelling.
