Abstract: Wartenberg’s Syndrome is described as the entrapment of the superficial branch of the radial nerve, with only sensory manifestations and no motor deficits. Wartenberg’s syndrome may be associated with the symptoms of de Quervain’s tenosynovitis. A positive Tinel’s sign over the course of the nerve is the most common physical examination finding. For the surgical management there is evidence in the literature documenting the good result reported by simple neurolysis of the nerve and removing anatomical variations of the muscle brachioradialis. In this article we report an unusual bilateral case of this rare peripheral nerve compression.
