one to work between them to at least biopsy the lesion. Tumors which displace the nerves and/or ganglion laterally are ideally suited for an endonasal approach which will provide direct access. A complete understanding of the course of the parapharyngeal, petrous and cavernous ICA is a necessity...
The current gold standard of diagnosis is temporal artery biopsy. The purpose of this study is to review the technique of temporal biopsy in regard to incision placement, and to determine specimen quality and the incidence of complications, specifically seventh nerve injury. Methods Retrospective ...

In conclusion, when performing an FSTA biopsy, the surgeon should not dissect below the superficial temporal fascia because there is an overlap between the course of the FSTA and the TFN in a minority of cases. Also, surgical incisions should be made outside the area delineated by an oblique...
Treatment is usually surgical ligation of the artery and resection of the pseudoaneurysm. Embolization is an alternative if surgery cannot easily be performed. In summary, STA pseudoaneurysm is a rare but important clinical diagnosis to consider in a subcutaneous mass on the forehead, before biopsy ...
Temporal artery biopsy (TAB), performed for the diagnosis of giant cell arteritis, has a low reported rate of complications. One complication is damage to the facial nerve branches, which can result in brow ptosis and/or orbicularis oculi weakness. However, the incidence of facial nerve damage ...
Conclusions Branch facial nerve palsy can occur with temporal artery biopsy and is likely to result in permanent disability. In all cases the incision was placed within the known course of the frontal branch of the facial nerve. To prevent this rare complication, we advocate biopsy of the ...
Despite the increasing role of imaging with advancing technology, the gold standard for the diagnosis of GCA is still the temporal artery biopsy. A described complication of superficial temporal artery biopsy (STAB), for which incidence is not clear, is the accidental damage of the frontal branch...
