Isolated superficial radial neuropathy is a sensorial mononeuropathy and a rare clinical condition. In case of trapping of the sensorial branchof the radial nerve, symptoms such as burning type pain at proximal forearm and hand dorsoradial, hypoesthesia, numbness and tingling athand dorsum and thumb radial side are observed. Muscular weakness and trophic changes are not seen, and electrophysiological assessmentrevealed normal motor nerve conduction values. Therefore, hand motor functions are not affected. The etiology of the isolated superficialradial nerve neuropathy is often associated with repeated use of wrist watches, forearm fractures, use of handcuffs, repetitive activities. In thisreport, we present a 59-year-old female case of isolated superficial radial nerve neuropathy diagnosed by electrophysiological evaluation whowas treated for two months with carpal tunnel syndrome with altered symptoms and increased numbness. This is the first case of superficialradial nerve neuropathy following the splint use in the literature.
