A case of multiple superficial temporal artery (STA) @entity2849 following craniotomy is reported and a review of the literature is made. The @entity1 was a 17-year-old male who was hospitalized as he developed @entity1269 4 hours after @entity130 to the left temporal region. He had been diagnosed as @entity447 one year prior to the injury. CT scan showed right parietal @entity2075 with mass effect when he was submitted to emergency craniotomy. At surgery a linear scalp incision was made over the left temporal area after high factor @entity797 concentrates (con- @entity797 ), 2,000 units, were administered. His postoperative course was uneventful and @entity1269 improved substantially, however two pulsatile masses along the incision scar over the scalp were noticed some 40 days after the @entity1410 removal. There was another pulsating mass in the left wrist where an arterial cannulation was made at the time of craniotomy. Selective angiograms showed two left STA @entity2849 was also demonstrated. The left STA was embolized with Gelfoam pieces through catheterization after administration of con- @entity797 , and the @entity438 was surgically resected. There was no evidence of recurrence of these lesions during the follow-up period of eight months. Among over 130 cases of @entity2849 reported, there was no case with @entity447 and also no such a case described which developed after craniotomy on reviewing the literature. And it was proved that con- @entity797 has enabled a @entity1 to tolerate embolization procedure through catheterization.
