Embryology of the eye

Afin d’appréhender les mécanismes qui sous-tendent la physiologie de la vision, la connaissance des bases embryologiques du développement de l’œil et de ses annexes est un prérequis indispensable. La morphogénèse oculaire débute au cours de la quatrième semaine de vie embryonnaire, alors que l’ébauche oculaire s’individualise des diverticules latéraux du cerveau antérieur par des mouvements mor...

Embryology of the eye.

A brief description of the basic patterns of mammalian development of the eye is presented based on events as they occur in human beings. The emphasis is not on the details of this development, but rather on its organization and timing, with a figure of comparative development providing a comparison of similar events in man, rat, mouse, and chick.

This, we think, is particularly the case in the chapter dealing with Meckel's diverticulum. The volume is one that should prove itself of great value to surgeons and physicians and as a book of reference. As would be expected the publishers have done their share of the work in a most...

The embryology of gut rotation.

Until today, the puzzling spectrum of midgut "malrotations" is commonly explained by an "impaired" process of rotation of the midgut. However, a closer look at the literature reveals that the description of this "process of rotation" is rather schematic and is aimed more at explaining pathological findings, while detailed proper embryological investigations are still rare. Despite recent trials...
