Abstract
Ischemia monomelic neuropathy is rare and underrecognized complication of hemodialysis access (HA), characterized by diffuse multiple mononeuropathies in the absence of significant clinical ischemia. It is important to diagnose this syndrome early because ligation of the HA is the most accepted treatment to prevent or at least halt irreversible neural dysfunction and therefore, chronic pain and disability. Literature describing this fistulae-related pathology is rare, and we attempt to increase its awareness.
