Resumen

Los aneurismas de la arteria temporal superficial son una causa poco frecuente de tumoración de region preauricular o parotídea. La causa más frecuente es traumática cuando es pseudoaneurisma y arteriosclerosis- ateromatosis cuando éste es verdadero aneurisma. Su diagnóstico es clínico en base a sus características vasculares (masa pulsátil depresible, thrill…), ausentes cuando está trombosado, eventualidad infrecuente que puede complicar por ello el diagnóstico. En este caso toman importancia y son de gran ayuda las pruebas radiológicas. La cirugía es curativa y recomendable, especialmente en casos trombosados, siendo la exéresis previa ligadura proximal y distal del vaso, bien bajo anestesia local o general, la técnica más aceptada. Los aneurismas de la arteria temporal superficial son muy poco frecuentes en la literatura otorrinolaringológica. Comunicamos un caso que se presentó como una masa no pulsátil preauricular para llamar la atención acerca de esta rara lesión.

Palabras clave:
Aneurisma trombosado
Arteria temporal superficial
Masa no pulsátil preauricular
Abstract

Aneurysms of the superficial temporal artery are an uncommon cause for preauricular or parotid masses. Tr a uma is the most frecuent etiology for a pseudoaneurysm and atheromatosis fot the true aneurysm. The diagnosis is clinical due to their vascular signs (pulsatile mass, thrill…), these signs care not present when the aneurysmnas thrombosed, being this an unusual event that will make difficult a proper diagnosis. Radiological investigations are needed and helpful under these circunstances. Surgery is curative and recommended, being the excision after proximal and distal ligation of the artery the most accepted procedure. Aneurysms of the superficial temporal artery are rarely reported in the literature. We report a case that showed up as a non-pulsatile preauricular mass to highlight this unusual condition.

Key words:
Thrombosed aneurysm
Superficial temporal artery
Non-pulsatile preauricular mass
