The vascular access for hemodialysis is ¡®life line¡¯ for end stage renal failure patients. Ischemic monomelic neuropathy is a rare complication of vascular access proceduced by shunting of blood or due to acute noncompressive occlusion of the major proximal limb artery. And this is important complication, which can lead to severe and irreversible disability. Early diagnosis and treatment of this complication is essential to prevent irreversible disability. This complication mainly occurs in diabetic patients with evidence of peripheral neuropathy and vasculitis.
