Abstract
The cervices of 300 hysterectomy specimens have been examined for the presence of abnormal nerves morphologically resembling traumatic neuro mas. These were present in 165 uteri (55%) overall but in only two of the 48 nulliparous patients (4%), indicating a probable causation by p arturition. The microneuromas could be graded. The larger, more comple x lesions were associated with more extensive involvement of the cervi x but not with increased parity.
