title: Compression neuropathy of the superficial branch of the radial nerve. Case reports.
abstract: We present two cases of hypoaesthesia over the dorsal radial aspect of the hand with an associated painful mass in the wrist. At operation a dorsal wrist ganglion was compressing the superficial branch of the radial nerve at the anatomical snuff-box. After removal of the ganglion the hypoaesthesia was relieved.
