Abstract

Wartembergs syndrome is an entrapment of the sensory branch of the radial nerve in the forearm. It is not mentioned with the other peripheral nerve entrapments and it is very rare. Wartemberg's syndrome is too often misdiagnosed as the De Quervain's disease or is not diagnosed at all. The Authors report their experience with a case surgically treated.
