Abstract
Cirsoid aneurysm of the scalp are rare disorders, they can cause headaches, excessive bleeding when traumatized, epilepsy, tinnitus, and deformity. They are currently diagnosed by digital subtraction angiography. Treatment is controversial, many options have been described. In this paper surgery was found to be effective when compared with other methods, there were fewer complications and both surgeon and patient were satisfied with the results.
