Wartenberg's syndrome is a specific mononeuropathy, caused by entrapment of the superficial branch of the radial nerve. [1] Symptoms include numbness, tingling, and weakness of the posterior aspect of the thumb. Also called Cheiralgia paresthetica. [citation needed]
Cheiralgia paraesthetica (Wartenberg's syndrome) is a neuropathy of the hand generally caused by compression or trauma to the superficial branch of the radial nerve. [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 finger and across the back of the hand.
The latter involves compression at the wrist of the superficial sensory branch of the radial nerve which does not innervate hand muscles. [citation needed] Robert Wartenberg (1887-1956) was a neurologist born in Belarus who worked in Germany until 1935 when he emigrated to the United States. He was widely published and described a number of ...
The superficial branch of radial nerve is associated with an entrapment neuropathy called Wartenberg's syndrome. The nerve may be compressed due to wearing a tight wristband, watch or bracelet. The nerve may be compressed due to wearing a tight wristband, watch or bracelet.

Radial neuropathy is a type of mononeuropathy which results from acute trauma to the radial nerve that extends the length of the arm. [3] It is known as transient paresthesia when sensation is temporarily abnormal.
