TY - JOUR PY - 2007// TI - Traumatic arteriovenous fistula of the superficial temporal artery JO - Journal of clinical neuroscience A1 - Li, Feng A1 - Zhu, Shugan A1 - Liu, Yuguang A1 - Chen, Yu A1 - Chi, Lingyi A1 - Chen, Gang A1 - Zhang, Jian A1 - Qu, Fujun SP - 595 EP - 600 VL - 14 IS - 6 N2 - Arteriovenous fistula of the scalp is relatively rare. The superficial temporal artery is particularly vulnerable to trauma due to its long and relatively exposed course in the scalp. We report a traumatic arteriovenous fistula of the superficial temporal artery treated by complete surgical excision and review the literature with regard to etiology, clinical manifestations, pathogenesis, diagnosis and management of these unusual lesions.
