Normative Values for Corneal Nerve Morphology Assessed Using Corneal Confocal Microscopy: A Multinational Normative Data Set
OBJECTIVE Corneal confocal microscopy is a novel diagnostic technique for the detection of nerve damage and repair in a range of peripheral neuropathies, in particular diabetic neuropathy. Normative reference values are required to enable clinical translation and wider use of this technique. We have therefore undertaken a multicenter collaboration to provide worldwide age-adjusted normative val...
متن کاملPeripheral autoimmune neuropathy assessed using corneal in vivo confocal microscopy.
BACKGROUND Corneal nerves can be examined using in vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM). This new technique permits sequential observation of the corneal subbasal nerve plexus and detects early signs of diabetic peripheral neuropathy. OBJECTIVE To describe a patient with autoimmune peripheral neuropathy followed up using corneal IVCM. DESIGN Case report. SETTING Clinic of neurology, Geneva, Sw...
متن کاملRepeatability of in vivo corneal confocal microscopy to quantify corneal nerve morphology.
PURPOSE To establish intraobserver and interobserver repeatability, agreement, and symmetry of corneal nerve fiber (NF) morphology in healthy subjects using in vivo corneal confocal microscopy. METHODS Nineteen subjects underwent in vivo corneal confocal microscopy (Heidelberg Retinal Tomograph III Rostock Cornea Module) at baseline and 7 days apart. Bland-Altman plots were generated to asses...
متن کاملNormative database for corneal backscatter analysis by in vivo confocal microscopy.
PURPOSE To ascertain the sex and age relatedness, diurnal variation, and repeatability of backscatter measurement in the normal human cornea. METHODS Seven corneal backscatter variants were measured by in vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM) in both normal eyes (n = 314) of 157 healthy subjects. These subjects were assigned to one or more of three groups. The sex and age relatedness of corneal bac...
متن کاملCorneal Confocal Microscopy
OBJECTIVE The accurate quantification of human diabetic neuropathy is important to define at-risk patients, anticipate deterioration, and assess new therapies. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A total of 101 diabetic patients and 17 age-matched control subjects underwent neurological evaluation, neurophysiology tests, quantitative sensory testing, and evaluation of corneal sensation and corneal ne...
