Damage to branches of the facial nerve may occur after superficial temporal artery biopsy, resulting in eyebrow droop.

In most cases, a single biopsy is all that is necessary. When the involved temporal artery has classic physical features of inflammation with tenderness, swelling, and overlying erythema, a small piece of the abnormal segment should suffice to confirm the diagnosis, but these classic findings are quite uncommon.

The biopsy typically takes between 45 minutes to 1 hour, and the following steps will take place: 1. Your surgeon will mark the area of interest by gently feeling it.

A temporal artery biopsy is an outpatient procedure that is typically performed by a vascular surgeon or ophthalmologic surgeon, says Dr. Tedeschi. You won't be put under general anesthesia or have to stay overnight in a hospital.

Background: Temporal artery biopsy (TAB) has been accepted as the gold standard for the diagnosis of giant cell arteritis (GCA) or temporal arteritis (TA) even though it is of low sensitivity and specificity.

This article provides a method for consistent, safe, and cosmetically sensitive biopsy of the superficial temporal artery (Current Procedure Terminology [CPT] code 37609).

TAB is a safe procedure; however, risks include temporary or permanent damage to the temporal branch of the facial nerve, infection, bleeding, hematoma, skin ulceration, dehiscence, and objectionable scar.

When the area is numb, the provider makes an incision over the temporal artery. Once the artery is located, the provider clamps or ties off with stitches (sutures) the section to be used for the biopsy. He or she than cuts a small piece of the artery from this section and removes it.

A temporal artery biopsy is an outpatient procedure that is typically performed by a vascular surgeon or ophthalmologic surgeon, says Dr. Tedeschi. You won't be put under general anesthesia or have to stay overnight in a hospital.

Complications following a temporal artery biopsy are uncommon, and the test is not seen as dangerous. This is generally considered a low-risk procedure, says Dr. Tedeschi. Rarely, patients experience bleeding, scarring, wound separation or infection, or facial nerve damage.
