Radiological examination of women with foot pain reveals Maon's neuroma. What is the most likely site of the lesion
Maon's neuroma involves compression of anastomosing branch that connects medial and lateral plantar nerves between the third and fouh metatarsophalangeal joints. The pain may be severe. Women are affected 10 times more likely than men due to wearing different type of shoes, and causing excessive pressure on forefoot. In 80%of cases pain is eased with different shoes and coisone injections. Ref: Gray's Anatomy The Anatomical Basics of Clinical Practice 41 e pg 1447.
