Abstract

It is claimed that Morton Neuroma (MN) is symptomatic if it is greater than 5mm. In contrast, significant amounts of Morton neuroma that do not reach this critical level may become symptomatic. Therefore, it is thought that MN size and intensity of symptoms do not show a positive correlation. Twenty patients who were operated at Medipol University School of Medicine between 2015-2019 for the diagnosis of Morton neuroma and whose disease was diagnosed as Morton Neuroma by MRI and pathological evaluation and were evaluated retrospectively. Pathological tissue size measurements and MRI measurements were compared. The mean age of the operated patients was 47, 14 were female and 6 were male. The average of the pathological tissue dimensions after the measurements was 16,6 mm. The average of the radiological image dimensions after the measurements was 8,5 mm. The pathologic dimension was significantly higher (p
