چکیده
We present the case of a 20-year-old man with the chief complaint of right foot pain for the past three years presenting with focal bony prominence at dorsomedial aspect of right mid foot with interdigital pain. MRI demonstrated a metatarsal coalition with interdigital neuroma.

Interdigital Neuroma in the Second Intermetatarsal Space Associated with Metatarsophalangeal Joint Instability
The entrapment theory is the most commonly accepted theory concerning the development of interdigital neuroma; it incriminates the deep transverse metatarsal ligament as the major causative factor of the condition. This report presents a patient with interdigital neuroma in the second intermetatarsal space, which was strongly suspected to be caused by the metatarsophalangeal joint instability d...
متن کاملMorton neuroma: primary and secondary neurectomy.
Morton neuroma, or interdigital neuritis, is a compression neuropathy with associated perineural fibrosis that is caused by entrapment of the interdigital nerve near the distal edge of the transverse intermetatarsal ligament. The second and third interdigital nerves in the forefoot are most commonly involved. In one series, Morton neuroma was found to occur at an average age of 55 years (range,...
متن کاملUltrasound-Guided Diagnosis and Treatment of Morton's Neuroma.
Morton's neuroma is the fibrous enlargement of the interdigital nerve branches, usually in the second and third interspace between the metatarsal heads where the lateral and medial plantar nerves often join. Specific symptoms are dull or sharp pain, numbness and/or tingling in the third and fourth digits, burning sensation, cramping, and a feeling of "walking on a stone" around the metatarsal h...
متن کاملEndoscopic Interdigital Neurectomy of the Foot
Morton's neuroma is a compressive neuropathy resulting in perineural fibrosis rather than a neuroma of the plantar digital nerve. Surgical treatment is indicated for patients with a clear diagnosis of Morton's neuroma and no improvement with nonsurgical treatment. The surgical options include isolated intermetatarsal ligament division, isolated interdigital nerve excision, and interdigital nerv...
متن کاملAbnormal dip phenomenon: a characteristic electrophysiological marker in interdigital neuropathy of the foot.
OBJECTIVE The nerve conduction findings in interdigital neuropathy of the foot (IDN; Morton's neuroma) have rarely been reported. We analyzed the nerve conduction data in 23 patients with suspected IDN studied between 1982 and 2002. METHOD Diagnosis of IDN was made on the basis of clinical features. All patients underwent routine nerve conduction studies and a near-nerve needle sensory nerve ...
