AbstractMorton's neuroma is a frequent cause of pain in the forefoot that commonly occurs in the third intermetatarsal space. It is a type of nerve compression syndrome which involves the common digital plantar nerves. The diagnosis is typically made on the basis of history and careful physical exam. Imaging procedures may be useful to diagnose an atypical case or postoperative recurrence. Conservative treatments are successful in most cases, but when they fail surgery may be considered.
