Background:
Vascular malformations of the hand are rare vascular malformations that are challenging to treat.
Methods:
We present a case of a large vascular malformation with left hand pain and decreased sensation of the small and ring fingers. The lesion was treated operatively with surgical excision.
Results:
The malformation was successfully removed surgically, and pain resolved and numbness recovered by 2 weeks after surgery.
Conclusions:
This is a rare case of large vascular malformation in the hand with compromised neurologic status. Surgical treatment provided complete relief of the disease, and the patient returned to normal daily activities.

Jugular Venous Pressure (JVP) Measurement
Position the patient at a thirty- to forty-five-degree angle or in a semi-fowler's position. Look for the highest point of pulsation in the internal jugular vein and measure the vertical distance to the angle of Loius or sternal angle. A normal JVP is 3-4 cm above...
