Abstract
Metatarsalgia is a condition of the foot characterized
with pain, numbness or burning feeling located in
the forefoot or midfoot region. Metatarsalgia is often
referred to as a symptom, rather than as a specific
disease. Common causes of metatarsalgia include
neuroma between the toes (also known as Morton’s
neuroma), metatarsophalangeal synovitis, avascular
necrosis, sesamoiditis, and inflammatory arthritis. Other
conditions such as tarsal tunnel syndrome can also
present with pain or numbness in the metatarsal region.
We present a case of a patient with Schwannoma in
atypical localization- at the medial plantar nerve of the
foot causing severe metatarsalgia.
