Keratic precipitate morphology in uveitic syndromes including Behçet's disease as evaluated with in vivo confocal microscopy

keratic precipitate morphology in various uveitic entities: a confocal scan study

purpose: to characterize keratic precipitate (kp) morphology in different forms of uveitis. methods: one hundred and twenty nine eyes of 93 patients with different forms of uveitis underwent confocal scan and the morphology of kps were determined. differences in kp morphologies among different uveitic groups were evaluated.  results: age ranged from 14 to 67 years (mean: 32.5±11.2) and 58 cases...

Variations of the Normal Human Limbal Stem Cells Detected by In Vivo Confocal Microscopy

Background  To report normal variations of the limbal structures using in vivo laser scanning confocal microscopy. Methods: This was a retrospective study of fourteen eyes from 11 healthy individuals. Confocal imaging of cornea and limbus was performed using Heidelberg Retina Tomograph III Rostock Corneal Module. Results: The typical structure of the palisades of Vogt (POV) was detected ...

Combining in vivo reflectance with fluorescence confocal microscopy provides additive information on skin morphology

BACKGROUND Within the last decade, confocal microscopy has become a valuable non-invasive diagnostic tool in imaging human skin in vivo. Of the two different methods that exist, reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) displays the backscattering signal of naturally occurring skin components, whereas fluorescence confocal microscopy (FCM) provides contrast by using an exogenously applied fluoresce...

In Vivo Confocal Microscopy in Scarring Trachoma

OBJECTIVE To characterize the tissue and cellular changes found in trachomatous scarring (TS) and inflammation using in vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM). DESIGN Two complimentary case-control studies. PARTICIPANTS The first study included 363 cases with TS (without trichiasis), of whom 328 had IVCM assessment, and 363 control subjects, of whom 319 had IVCM assessment. The second study includ...
