Wartenberg syndrome, which is entrapment of the superficial (ie, sensory) branch of the radial nerve (SRN), was first described by Dr. Wartenberg in 1932. At the time, he suggested the name “cheiralgia paraesthetica,” because he observed a similarity to the isolated involvement of the thigh’s lateral cutaneous nerve.
Wartenberg syndrome can occur when external factors compress the superficial radial nerve. It can also be due to anatomic variations, such as a split brachioradialis tendon entrapping the nerve. This case report describes a unique example of a professional baseball player diagnosed with Wartenberg syn-drome who was later found to have a split brachioradialis tendon during surgical management ...

[1] [2] The area affected is typically on the back or side of the hand at the base of the thumb, near the anatomical snuffbox, but may extend up the back of the thumb and index ...

Feb 13, 2023 · Wartenberg syndrome Wartenberg syndrome (WS) is a compression neuropathy affecting only the SBRN. Its incidence is estimated as 0.003% in the general population [ 81 ]. The SBRN is thought to suffer external compression at its distal end in the area of the wrist and hand because of its subcutaneous course in direct proximity to the radius. Repetitive action of the external force can lead to a ...
