Pseudoaneurysms of the superficial temporal artery (STA) are rare vascular lesions that mainly occur after blunt head trauma. Diagnosis can be made on clinical grounds and is confirmed by ultrasonography. They are usually treated by open surgery procedures, but when the aneurysm is located in inaccessible areas, catheter embolization can be an alternative therapeutic option. We describe a case of a traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the STA which was treated with the vascular plug embolization. We conclude that endovascular embolization can be an option in the treatment of STA pseudoaneurysms. © The Author(s) 2016.

The incidence of concomitant extracranial carotid artery stenosis and ipsilateral intracranial carotid aneurysm has been reported to vary between 2.8% and 5%. These complex lesions may present a challenge for treatment decision-making. This case report describes an asymptomatic male patient with severe carotid bifurcation stenosis, coupled with an unruptured supraclinoid internal carotid aneurysm. Both lesions were treated simultaneously. Patient underwent carotid stenting followed by aneurysm coiling in the same setting without any complication. © SAGE Publications.
