Radial artery pseudoaneurysm is uncommon. Most of the cases are iatrogenic following vascular access to arteriovenous fistula. Only few cases have been published in literature following trauma to wrist . Penetrating trauma to wrist can cause a breach in tunica intima and media with collection of blood between muscularis propria and tunica adventitia which will eventually lead to formation of pseudoaneurysm weeks or even months after the inciting event. We present a case of radial artery pseudoaneurysm in 41 yr old fisherman after trauma by a fish over the volar aspect of his wrist.
