Congenital Corneal Anesthesia and Neurotrophic Keratitis: Diagnosis and Management
Neurotrophic keratitis (NK) is a rare degenerative disease of the cornea caused by an impairment of corneal sensory innervation, characterized by decreased or absent corneal sensitivity resulting in epithelial keratopathy, ulceration, and perforation. The aetiopathogenesis of corneal sensory innervation impairment in children recognizes the same range of causes as adults, although they are much...
متن کامل[Neurotrophic keratitis].
Neurotrophic keratitis is a degenerative disease of the cornea caused by reduced corneal innervation. Trauma, tumors, inflammatory lesions and surgical procedures can damage the first branch of the trigeminal nerve on its entire course from brainstem to and within the cornea. Loss or reduction of corneal innervation leads to a reduced aqueous phase of the tear film and due to reduced supply wit...
متن کاملNeurotrophic Keratitis
Neurotrophic keratitis (NK) is a rare degenerative corneal disease that occurs as a result of partial or total impairment of trigeminal innervations, leading to a reduction (hypoesthesia) in or loss (anaesthesia) of corneal sensitivity. The impairment of sensory innervation causes a reduction in the lacrimation reflex and the vitality, metabolism and mitosis of epithelial cells, with subsequent...
متن کاملPseudoherpetic keratitis. Corneal changes in circumscribed palmo-plantar keratoderma.
The association of herpetoid corneal changes with circumscribed palmo-plantar keratoderma was first described by Richner (I938). Hanhart (1947) suggested that this represented a recessively inherited ectodermal syndrome, and the condition is sometimes called the Richner-Hanhart syndrome. Subsequent reports have been relatively few: Cremona (I 957); Kuske (I959); Franceschetti and Thier (I96I); ...
متن کاملCorneal thickness in interstitial keratitis.
THE importance of the role played by changes in the thickness of the cornea in the induction of corneal vascularization has recently become increasingly recognized (Cogan, 1948; Ashton, Cook, and Langham, 1951; Langham, 1952, 1953; Ashton and Cook, 1953). However the relationship between the swelling and increase in opacity of the cornea to the rate and progress of vascularization of the cornea...
