Abstract
The superficial branch of the radial nerve is highly vulnerable to trauma, irritation and compression due to its anatomical location. Intraneural lipomas and fibrolipomas arising from the supporting tissues of this peripheral nerve can cause compression of the adjacent nerve leading to symptoms of neuritis of the radial nerve or Wartenberg syndrome.Entities:
