Abstract
The superficial sensory branch of the radial nerve descends along the anterolateral aspect of the forearm, beneath the brachioradialis muscle. At the wrist, it crosses over the long abductor and short extensor of the thumb. Lesions of the radial nerve at the level of the wrist are named Wartenberg’s syndrome.
