Entrapment neuropathy-(c) fashion may have a price. the patient has a morton neuroma, a form of compressive neuropathy in which a
plantar nerve is trapped between metatarsal heads. chronic injury leads to growth of a tangled mass of axons, fibroblasts,
and perineural cells. the toxic disorder (lead poisoning) and metabolic disorders (beriberi with thiamine deficiency or
subacute combined degeneration with cobalamin deficiency) are not as focal. diabetic neuropathy, which occurs in either
type 1 or type 2 disease, is bilateral. it is characterized by loss of sensation, which may be a predisposing factor for foot
trauma. wallerian degeneration is a dying-back neuropathy associated with severing of a nerve; a neuroma may form at
the site of injury.
