Median neuralgia caused by brachial pseudoaneurysm

Neurosurgery. 1989 Jun;24(6):924-5. doi: 10.1227/00006123-198906000-00024.

Abstract

A rare neurovascular complication of a antebrachial arteriovenous fistula in a chronic hemodialysis patient is reported. A large brachial venous pseudoaneurysm caused median neuralgia by direct compression of the nerve. Surgical resection of the pseudoaneurysm resulted in complete relief of neuralgia.
