[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...

Although originally defined by their actions on neuronal survival and differentiation in the peripheral (PNS) and central nervous systems (CNS), accumulating data indicate the presence of extensive interactions...
