Superficial temporal artery pseudoaneurysm (STAP) is an uncommon complication of blunt and penetrating trauma. It accounts for only 1% of all traumatic aneurysms. Superficial temporal artery pseudoaneurysm usually has the characteristic appearance of a cystic pulsatile mass in the region of the superficial temporal artery. Here we present a case of posttraumatic STAP detected by US in the emergency department (ED).
