Corneal nerves are necessary for adrenergic reactivation of ocular herpes.
Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) can infect the cornea and achieve ganglionic latency. HSV-1 can later be activated by a variety of effectors although the exact mechanism of reactivation is unknown. Rabbits harboring latent HSV-1 strain McKrae can be induced to shed virus by ocular iontophoresis of epinephrine to the cornea. No studies have been done to investigate if corneal nerves are nece...
متن کاملSimultaneous Presence of Macular Corneal Dystrophy and Retinitis Pigmentosa in Three Members of a Family
Macular corneal dystrophy (MCD) is an autosomal recessive hereditary disease. In most cases, various mutations in carbohydrate sulfotransferase 6 (CHST6) gene are the main cause of MCD. These mutations lead to a defect in keratan sulfate synthesis. Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is another eye disorder with nyctalopia as its common symptom. It has been shown that more than 65 genes have been implica...
متن کاملArchitecture of human corneal nerves.
PURPOSE The corneal innervation, mainly analyzed in light microscopical studies, has been described as radially oriented stromal nerve bundles that ramify as leashes in the subbasal plexus. The current study aims to determine the orientation, the size, and the postmortem changes of the nerve fibers in the subbasal plexus of the human cornea. METHODS Before processing for light and electron mi...
متن کاملArchitecture and distribution of human corneal nerves.
AIMS To comprehensively study the gross anatomy of human corneal innervation. METHODS Twenty-one specimens, including 12 normal human corneas from seven deceased patients, two eye-bank corneo-scleral buttons, two eye-bank corneo-scleral rims and five post-surgical specimens from three patients with keratoconus were studied. Corneal whole mounts were stained for cholinesterase enzyme using the...
متن کاملDegeneration and regeneration of corneal nerves.
CERTAIN authors, such as Haab (1899), Kraupa (1924), and Walsh (1947), have suggested that there might be an inter-relation between certain diseases of the cornea and the condition of the corneal nerves. The diseases mentioned are recurrent erosion of the cornea, superficial punctate keratitis, herpetic keratitis, and certain forms of degeneration of the corneal epithelium. Neuroparalytic kerat...
