Abstract
Iatrogenic pseudoaneurysm of the superficial temporal artery after surgery for craniosynostosis is a complication that has never been described in the pertinent literature. Although reported for other types of surgeries, no case has been described in the pediatric population. We report on a case of pseudoaneurysm of the superficial temporal artery that occurred 9 days after corrective surgery for scaphocephaly. We also describe the management of this complication. Pseudoaneurysm is an exceptional complication in surgery for craniosynostosis, but it should be considered in case of swelling in the temporal region.
