In one case the patient presented with intractable pain in the left upper extremity and motor paresis of the left shoulder, and in another case the patient suffered neuropathic pain in the left forearm. In both cases, magnetic resonance (MR) imaging revealed an intradural extramedullary mass lesion in the ipsilateral cervical nerve root; these MR imaging signals were similar to the intensity of the spinal cord. Intraoperatively, fusiform enlargement of the anterior cervical nerve root was detected in the subarachnoid space. Histological examination showed a meandering change of axons accompanied by mild axonal swelling and a thin myelin sheath, which are consistent with the typical pathological features of traumatic neuroma. Postoperatively, pain resolved in both cases. The authors also investigated two traumatic neuromas of the anterior cervical nerve root in autopsy cases in which there was no history of trauma and no significant neurological signs suggestive of traumatic neuroma.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p content-type=\"fine-print\">The authors conclude that traumatic neuroma of the anterior cervical nerve root may develop following an unnoticed minor brachial plexus injury at birth or a forgotten traction injury of the upper extremity in childhood, and the lesion may be accompanied by various case-specific clinical features.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3171\/spi.2002.97.3.0393","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,5,7]],"date-time":"2009-05-07T15:54:19Z","timestamp":1241711659000},"page":"393-396","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Traumatic neuroma of the anterior cervical nerve root with no subjective episode of trauma"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"97","author":[{"given":"Hiroshi","family":"Nomura","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Katsumi","family":"Harimaya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hisaya","family":"Orii","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Keiichiro","family":"Shiba","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Takayoshi","family":"Ueta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Toru","family":"Iwaki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1754","reference":[{"key":"b1","series-title":"J Neurosurg","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"714","DOI":"10.3171\/jns.1993.78.5.0714","article-title":"The surgical treatment of painful traumatic neuromas.","volume":"78","author":"Burchiel","year":"1993"},{"key":"b2","series-title":"Surgical Pathology of the Nervous System and Its Coverings","first-page":"669","author":"Burger","year":"1991"},{"key":"b3","series-title":"Ann Plast Surg","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"573","DOI":"10.1097\/00000637-199228060-00013","article-title":"Management of traumatic supraorbital neuroma.","volume":"28","author":"Freidman","year":"1992"},{"key":"b4","series-title":"Clin Rehabil","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"523","DOI":"10.1191\/0269215500cr341oa","article-title":"Obstetrical brachial plexus injuries: incidence, natural course and shoulder contracture.","volume":"14","author":"Hoeksma","year":"2000"},{"key":"b5","series-title":"Neuroradiology","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"52","DOI":"10.1007\/PL00006044","article-title":"MRI of unusual lesions in the internal auditory canal.","volume":"43","author":"Krainik","year":"2001"},{"key":"b6","series-title":"J Hand Surg (Am)","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"635","DOI":"10.1053\/jhsu.2001.26035","article-title":"Nerve growth factor inhibition prevents traumatic neuroma formation in the rat.","volume":"26","author":"Kryger","year":"2001"},{"key":"b7","series-title":"Ear Nose Throat J","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"670","DOI":"10.1177\/014556139807700816","article-title":"Traumatic neuromas of the head and neck.","volume":"77","author":"Lee","year":"1998"},{"key":"b8","series-title":"Acta Med Okayama","first-page":"273","article-title":"A case of traumatic neuroma of the gallbladder in the absence of previous surgery and cholelithiasis.","volume":"50","author":"Matsuoka","year":"1996"},{"key":"b9","series-title":"Obstet Gynecol","first-page":"941","article-title":"Erb's palsy: concepts of causation.","volume":"95","author":"Sandmire","year":"2000"},{"key":"b10","series-title":"J Neurosurg","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"919","DOI":"10.3171\/jns.1995.83.5.0919","article-title":"Intracranial facial nerve rhabdomyoma.
