Abstract
Wartenberg's syndrome is a rare compression neuropathy of the sensory branch of the radial nerve and is characterized by pain and paresthesia in the radial dorsal forearm radiating to the back of the thumb and second and third fingers. The etiology of this syndrome can be varied. Diagnosis is based on clinical history, physical examination and electromyography. The most common treatment is nonsurgical with splints and steroid injections. The prognosis of Wartenberg's syndrome is usually good. The present article reviews this entity.
