ABSTRACT

A neuroma arises from the failed regeneration of a nerve following partial or total sectioning, forming a nodule at the proximal end due to traumatic injury. Initial symptoms include inflammation and irritation of nerve endings, and 20-30% of patients develop painful neuromas, which are sensitive to mechanical stimuli and movement. Diagnosis is based on surgical or traumatic history, and treatment may involve neuroma resection if the function of the affected area is not critical. This report presents a clinical case of post-traumatic neuroma in a 56-year-old female.
