Excess hemorrhage of the wound, enlarging pulsatile hematoma in the wound area, deficiency of pulsation distally, and neurologic deficits indicate traumatic arteriovenous fistulas, which may be related to gunshot injuries, penetrating stab wounds, fractures, joint dislocations, and iatrogenic causes. Observation of murmur and thrill in the wound area by physical examination is accepted as a pathognomonic sign for arteriovenous fistula. In this study, we describe our approach of diagnosis and treatment in a case of arteriovenous fistula in the palmar area related to trauma.
