Here we report an uncommon case of a pseudoaneurysm caused by the bite of a river fish named Payara (Hydrolycus scomberoides), which necessitated multidisciplinary clinical and surgical management. Pseudoaneurysm can be caused either by blunt or penetrating trauma; if not properly managed, it can be a life-threatening condition and lead to thrombosis or gangrene, amputation and even death.
