Abstract

We present a 44-year old man with an hemorrhagic dorsal skin wound of the left ring finger, which after angiography led to the diagnosis of an arteriovenous dysplasia with fistulas involving the whole left forearm and hand. The local problem was successfully treated by surgical hemostasis and skin flaps, but the underlying vascular pathology seems to be untreatable. Compressive gloves as used in burn treatment are a simple help in this particular case.
