We present a case of giant aneurysm in the superficial temporal artery. A 59-year-old male was admitted to our hospital with a slowly growing swelling just in front of his right ear. Diagnosis was made by US and CT. CTA was able to provide accurate anatomic information and to eliminate the risks associated with diagnostic conventional angiography. A superselective embolization of the giant temporal aneurysm was performed.
