Nerve entrapment syndromes are commonly encountered in clinical practice. Accurate diagnosis and management require a knowledge of peripheral neuroanatomy the recognition key symptoms findings. frequently associated with structural abnormalities affected nerve. Therefore, imaging allows evaluation cause, severity, etiology entrapment. High-resolution ultrasonography can depict early chronic morphological changes within entire nerve course is therefore an ideal modality for diagnosing various different regions. This review article presents some most common types entrapment, special focus on ultrasound
