Abstract
- We report a case of a 55-year-old female with extreme right fourth toe pain of unknown origin that was resistant to conservative care. Resection confirmed invasion of the neuroma into the fourth digit with hypertrophy and herniation of the proper digital nerve. The patient experienced an uneventful recovery with some minor neurogenic symptoms experienced at six months postoperatively that resolved with off-loading padding and heat massage. Complete pain relief was reported at her 12-month review. Isolated neuroma within a toe results in digital pain that may respond to excision.
