Traumatic arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) are pathologic conditions caused by abnormal connection between an artery and a nearby vein following trauma to the region. In general AVF is rare in the superficial temporal artery. In this article, we report a case of arteriovenous fistula of Superficial temporal artery which was confirmed with 3D CTA and was treated surgically after six years of beginning.Arteriovenous fistula of Superficial temporal artery (STA) is not common, and the most important cause is trauma which causes a pulsatile mass in the temporal region after undeterminable time.We report here a case of a 12 year old child who came to the hospital seeking medical advice for a mass in his right temporal region that was growing progressively.The patient told us that this mass has appeared after a blunt trauma to his head six years ago.The patient underwent radiological examinations, and arteriovenous fistula of Superficial temporal artery (STA) was diagnosed.He underwent a complete surgical resection of the mass after ligation of the feeding artery and the draining vein. |
