Неврома Мортона – заболевание, остающееся в структуре нозологий, диагностикой и лечением которых занимаются нейрохирурги. Оно известно давно, при этом в отечественной литературе встречаются единичные работы, в  то  время как зарубежными исследователями представлено достаточное количество публикацией по данной теме. Задача этой статьи – систематизировать знания по  данной патологии, подходы в  диагностике и  варианты хирургического лечения невромы Мортона. В работе представлены анатомия и эпидемиология невромы Мортона, рассмотрены способы диагностики и современные варианты ее хирургического лечения, осложнения операций.

Morton’s neuroma is a  disease that  remains in  the  structure of  nosologies, which are  diagnosed and  treated by  neurosurgeons. It has  been known for  a  long time, while in  the  domestic literature there are  isolated works on  this topic, while in  the  foreign literature there  are a  suffi cient number of  publications on  this topic. The  aim of this article is  to  systematize knowledge on  this pathology, approaches to the diagnosis and surgical treatment options for Morton’s neuroma. The paper presents the anatomy and epidemiology of Morton’s neuroma, discusses diagnostic methods and modern options for its surgical treatment, and complications of surgeries.
