Abstract :Spiral groove entrapment neuropathy is a compression neuropathy that can occur for various reasons due to the superficial course of the radial nerve at the level of the spiral groove. Since repetitive movements play a role in the development mechanism of compression neuropathy, compelling and repetitive movements of the triceps muscle may predispose to spiral groove entrapment neuropathy. In this case, a 61-year-old male patient who developed a low hand after long-term use of a lawnmower is presented. The patient was diagnosed with spiral groove entrapment neuropathy as a result of the physical examination findings performed in our clinic and the requested electroneurophysiological test, magnetic resonance imaging. The patient\'s motor and sensory deficit completely recovered after 6 weeks as a result of physical therapy and acupuncture treatment.Keywords : radial sinir, Tuzak nöropatisi, Radial sinir nöropatisi
