AbstractStingray envenomations usually result in minor injuries with localized symptoms. In some cases the injury incurred is more serious, resulting in significant morbidity if not adequately treated. We report a case of pseudoaneurysm of the superficial femoral artery resulting from a stingray envenomation in a young female. Stingray venom is known to have necrosing properties in human tissues and in this case this led to graft failure requiring surgical repair. This case emphasizes the insidious nature of stingray venom and the necessity of extensive surgical debridement for more significant envenomations.
