Arteriovenous fistulae of the superficial temporal artery are rare, and their principal cause is traumas. Complications include pulsatile mass, headache, hemorrhage and deformities that compromise esthetics. Treatment can be performed using conventional surgery or endovascular methods. The authors describe a case of a 44-year-old male patient who developed a large pulsating mass, extending from the preauricular region to the right parietotemporal and frontal regions after a motorcycle accident. The treatment chosen was complete surgical removal of the pulsatile mass and ligature of the vessels feeding the fistula.

Introduction. Arteriovenous malformations (AVM) of the head represent the rare lesions that have a congenital, traumatic or post-infectious nature. In the last decade, endovascular methods have become the most prevalent in the treatment of AVM. Staged embolization is performed to achieve maximum effect and minimize the complications.Case report. A 30-year-old female patient is presented with complaints of enlarged vessels in the frontal and parietal regions. CT-angiography scan and cerebral angiography showed extracranial AVM of the fronto-parietal regions with afferent vascular supply from the right and left superficial temporal and ophtalmic arteries with significant expansion of the afferent arteries and the presence of varix dilatation of the draining veins. Two-stage endovascular embolization of AVM was performed. The first stage was embolization of the afferent vessels from the left superficial temporal artery system with exclusion of 60–65% AVM volume. Three months later, the second stage was performed with embolization of the afferent vessels from the right superficial temporal artery system and the exclusion of 75–80% of the residual volume of AVM. The non-adhesive composition SQUIDR12 (Emboflu, Switzerland) and glue composition PHILR25% (Microvention, USA) were used. A good aesthetic effect was achieved. Postoperative complications were not observed. There was no recurrence during the observation within a year.Summary. The staging and the use of various liquid embolization agents in the treatment of AVM of the head allow to achieve a good aesthetic outcome and prevent complications associated with facial soft tissue necrosis.

Aneurysms of the distal branches of the external carotid artery are rare and usually traumatic in origin. We present two cases which were treated in our clinic. The first case is about a traumatic aneurysm of the left superficial temporal artery (STA) in a young boy 8 years old. The young patient developed a pulsatile mass above his left eyebrow ten days after a bite by a boy of the same age. The second case is referred in a 36-year old woman with a pulsatile mass behind the right ear, which was an aneurysm of the posterior auricular artery. The treatment was ligation and resection under local anesthesia in the first case and under general anesthesia in the latter. Surgeons’ familiarity with this entity is important for diagnosis and treatment.

AbstractObjective:We report an interesting case of a right temporal pre-auricular arteriovenous fistula (cirsoid aneurysm) causing intractable tinnitus successfully managed by transarterial n-butyl cyanoacrylate glue embolisation.Case report:A 52-year-old female presented with a one-year history of tinnitus and pulsatile swelling in the right pre-auricular region. A colour Doppler ultrasound test and magnetic resonance angiography revealed a high-flow scalp arteriovenous fistula with a feeder vessel from the distal superficial temporal artery, which drained into the corresponding, dilated, tortuous vein. The patient underwent diagnostic digital subtraction angiography. This was followed by transarterial embolisation of the fistula using a 50 per cent mixture of n-butyl cyanoacrylate glue and Lipiodol®, with manual distal venous occlusion. A successful outcome was achieved with instant relief of symptoms.Conclusion:Cirsoid aneurysms of the facial region, an uncommon cause of tinnitus, can be effectively managed by endovascular embolisation. This treatment obviates the need for surgery, which is associated with an increased risk of complications such as scarring, deformity and bleeding.

Purpose: We report a case of a pediatric patient developing a delayed-onset scalp arteriovenous fistula (AVF) and pseudoaneurysm managed with a new technique. Technique: A 10-year-old boy presented to the outpatient clinic complaining of a growing pulsatile mass in the right side of the skull after head trauma 6 months ago. He had no neurological deficits. Imaging studies revealed scalp AVF with pseudoaneurysm. The arterial feeding was from the right temporal artery, while the blood was drained into the superior sagittal sinus and the facial vein. The fistula was occluded successfully by a microvascular plug (MVP). Follow-up angiography 1 year later showed that the AVF was no longer seen with complete embolization of pseudoaneurysm, total occlusion of the abnormal vessels, and the absence of MVP migration. Conclusion: To the best of our knowledge, we report the first case of successfully using MVP to treat scalp AVF. The MVP is a novel technique with its unique ability to achieve rapid, safe, effective, and permanent vascular occlusion through a single device. Besides, the possibility of delayed-onset traumatic vascular injuries should be considered in a patient with head or facial trauma.

Background: We present two cases of scalp arteriovenous fistula (sAVF) treated by transarterial embolization with the aid of a temporary balloon occlusion (TBO) to detect precise vasculature. Case Description: Case 1: A 59-year-old woman noticed a sudden onset of pulsating bruits. sAVF was fed by the right superficial temporal artery (STA) and drained to the right superficial temporal vein. We performed feeder occlusion using coils after the recognition of a single feeder and a single fistula using TBO. Case 2: A 42-year-old woman noticed a pulsating subcutaneous mass. sAVF was fed by the right occipital artery (OA) and drained to the right occipital vein (OV). We could detect another feeder of the right STA after the TBO of the OA. We performed transarterial feeder occlusion for STA and OA using coil and N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylat including OV and shunt point, because this case was a single fistula with multiple feeders. Conclusion: sAVFs are a relatively rare disease with a complex vascular structure. For the adequate transarterial approach, TBO was useful for detecting the precise vasculature of sAVF.

Abstract Background The COVID-19 pandemic creates new challenges for healthcare, including invasive cardiology. Case summary We discuss the case of a 65-year-old man who presented with non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction combined with bilateral pneumonia. The patient had known severe iliac artery lesions with prior interventions and bilateral subclavian artery occlusions. After unsuccessful femoral artery access, the diagnostic angiography and the right coronary artery percutaneous coronary intervention were successfully performed from ultrasound-guided lower superficial temporal artery access. Discussion We showed that superficial temporal access can be used as an alternate access site for diagnostic coronary angiography and intervention when standard wrist and femoral access sites are not readily accessible.

We summarize the treatment effectiveness and experience of a patient who underwent internal carotid balloon occlusion combined with Intermediate-flow bypass as a treatment for large-giant cavernous sinus segment internalcarotid artery (CS ICA) aneurysms. A 62-year-old woman presented with a large aneurysm on the right side of the cavernoussinus with dizziness for about two years and Oculomot or nerve palsy. An extra cranial intracranial (EC-IC) Intermediate-flow by pass using a radial artery bypass graft (RABG) and proximal balloon occlusion of the Right ICA were performed. The patient experienced no new neurologic deficit after this treatment. Follow up radiologic evaluations using Computed Tomography Angiography revealed complete aneurysm occlusion. For patients with large-giant CS ICA aneurysms, treatment of ICA occlusion combined with Intermediate-flow superficial temporal artery-Radial artery-middle cerebralartery bypass surgery was an effective and safe surgical strategy.
