Abstract

A case of post-traumatic arteriovenous fistula involving the superficial temporal artery is reported. The traumatic episode antedated the clinical manifestation and diagnosis by 28 months. The salient feature of the physical examination was the presence of a pulsatile mass with detectable bruit. This lesion, which was confirmed by angiography and computerized tomography, was treated by direct excision.
