Ischaemic Monomelic Neuropathy and Compartment Syndrome: A Spectrum of Ischaemia

Ischaemic Monomelic Neuropathy (IMN) is a rare sequelae of arteriovenous fistula formation in the upper limb. It typically presents with sensory disturbance and represented ischaemic to peripheral nerves. A case of ischaemia following fistula revision is presented and ongoing ischaemic leading to acute compartment syndrome. The pathophysiology of IMN is unclear, however the ischaemic insult to the nerves must also affect the other structures in the forearm, including muscles, and should be recognised as spectrum of ischaemia. Progression to compartment syndrome is a significant risk with devastating consequences and should therefore be considered in any neurovascular disturbance following fistula formation.
