Abstract

This report concerns a case of a 32-year-old male with right ulnar neuropathy caused by arterio-venous fistula due to gunshot wound injury presenting with severe neuropathic pain along the ulnar nerve distribution. Intra-operative exploration and ligation of the fistula relieved the patient’s neuropathic pain. A review of the recent English literature did not reveal any reports of arterio-venous fistula of the ulnar nerve.
