# Hourglass Constrictive Neuropathy: A Likely Underdiagnosed Condition with Characteristic Imaging Features

## TL;DR

Hourglass constrictive neuropathy is a rare condition that may be underdiagnosed and can be identified through imaging.

## Contribution

The paper highlights hourglass-like constrictive neuropathy as a potential cause of unexplained peripheral neuropathy.

## Key findings

- Hourglass constrictive neuropathy may present without intrinsic or extrinsic nerve compression.
- Imaging can reveal characteristic nerve constriction in this condition.

## Abstract

Teaching point: Hourglass-like constrictive neuropathy should be considered in patients with unexplained peripheral neuropathy symptoms, as imaging may show nerve constriction without evidence of intrinsic or extrinsic compression.
