A traumatic neuroma is a type of neuroma which results from trauma to a nerve, usually during a surgical procedure. The most common oral locations are on the tongue and near the mental foramen of the mouth. [2] They are relatively rare on the head and neck. [3]
In particular, traumatic neuroma results from trauma to a nerve, often during a surgical procedure. Morton's neuroma affects the foot. Neuromas can be painful, or sometimes, as in the case of acoustic neuromas , can give rise to other symptoms.
[69] [70] One disadvantage of nerve resections is that traumatic injury to the nerve is unavoidable, and a neuroma may form at the point of resection. There are surgical approaches to prevent neuroma formation [ 71 ] such as targeted muscle reinnervation [ 72 ] which have shown very good results, however the risk of neuroma formation is not ...
Seddon's classification of nerve injuries. Nerve injury classification assists in prognosis and determination of treatment strategy for nerve injuries.Classification was described by Seddon in 1943 and by Sunderland in 1951. [1]
Historically, phantom pains were thought to originate from neuromas located at the stump tip. [1] Traumatic neuromas, or non-tumor nerve injuries, often arise from surgeries and result from the abnormal growth of injured nerve fibers. [11] Although stump neuromas may contribute to phantom pains, they are not the sole cause.
Traumatic alopecia, a cutaneous condition that results from the forceful pulling out of the scalp hair; Traumatic anserine folliculosis, a curious gooseflesh-like follicular hyperkeratosis; Traumatic bone cyst, a condition of the jaws; Traumatic neuroma, a type of neuroma which results from trauma to a nerve, usually during a surgical procedure
Nerve injury is an injury to a nerve.There is no single classification system that can describe all the many variations of nerve injuries. In 1941, Herbert Seddon introduced a classification of nerve injuries based on three main types of nerve fiber injury and whether there is continuity of the nerve. [1]
Axonotmesis of the nerve. Axonotmesis is an injury to the peripheral nerve of one of the extremities of the body. The axons and their myelin sheath are damaged in this kind of injury, but the endoneurium, perineurium and epineurium remain intact.
