Aneurysms of the distal branches of the external carotid artery are rare and usually traumatic in origin. We present two cases which were treated in our clinic. The first case is about a traumatic aneurysm of the left superficial temporal artery (STA) in a young boy 8 years old. The young patient developed a pulsatile mass above his left eyebrow ten days after a bite by a boy of the same age. The second case is referred in a 36-year old woman with a pulsatile mass behind the right ear, which was an aneurysm of the posterior auricular artery. The treatment was ligation and resection under local anesthesia in the first case and under general anesthesia in the latter. Surgeons' familiarity with this entity is important for diagnosis and treatment.
