Peripheral entrapment neuropathies occur in high frequency and present clinically with a wide range of variations. They need to be recognized early enough in order to initiate correct therapy and so to obviate serious nerve lesions and possible neurological sequelae. This paper overviews the essentials of the compression neuropathies as they are encountered in both upper and lower extremities. Pathomechanisms , pathogenesis, evaluation considerations as well as differential diagnosis and basic treatment algorithms are emphasized.
