Pseudoaneurysms of superficial temporal artery are very rare and commonly occur as a result of blunt trauma. There are several methods for the diagnosis, but the diagnosis can be accurately made only from a history and physical examination. A 27-year-old man presented with a painless pulsatile mass over his right temporal region after a blunt head trauma. ⋯ Histopathological findings confirmed the diagnosis of pseudoaneurysm. Superficial temporal artery pseudoaneurysm can be easily diagnosed through an accurate history and physical examination alone. Diagnostic methods can be used in complicated cases.

Supraorbital keyhole approach provides access to the major part of the anterior circulation aneurysms. Herein, our surgical experience of supraorbital keyhole approach and its some modification have been proposed. ⋯ The supraorbital route is recommended for selected anterior circulation aneurysms based on the improved surgical instruments and microsurgical skills.
