In Vivo Corneal Confocal Microscopy and Endothelial Surgery
نویسندگان
چکیده
Lamellar endothelial surgery has gained increasing popularity in the last decade. This surgery is generally considered less invasive and allows faster recovery. However, differently from standard perforating keratoplasty, donor and recipient tissues are placed one over the other, and an interface is created between these two. The purpose of this review is to summarise findings of interface as observed with in vivo confocal microscopy.

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 ...
متن کاملCorneal innervation and cellular changes after corneal transplantation: an in vivo confocal microscopy study.
PURPOSE Although penetrating keratoplasty is generally considered a successful procedure, transplanted corneal tissue may exhibit abnormal epithelium, decreased sensation, and declining endothelial cell counts after surgery. This study aimed to use in vivo confocal microscopy to correlate corneal microstructure and recovery of the subbasal nerve plexus of the transplanted cornea with indication...
متن کاملHistological and confocal microscopy changes in chronic corneal edema: implications for endothelial transplantation.
PURPOSE To report in vivo confocal microscopic (IVCM) features in corneal edema supported by histopathologic correlation. METHODS This was an observational study with evaluation of diagnostic technology. Twenty patients with clinically diagnosed corneal edema were involved, including 11 with Fuchs' endothelial dystrophy (FED). All cases, in addition to a control group of six normal eyes, were...
متن کاملThe corneal endothelium in an endotoxin-induced uveitis model: correlation between in vivo confocal microscopy and immunohistochemistry
PURPOSE To analyze the involvement of the corneal endothelium in uveitis to better understand the formation mechanisms and the keratic precipitate composition. In vivo confocal microscopy images were correlated with ex vivo immunostaining of corneal endothelium from rat eyes with endotoxin-induced uveitis (EIU). METHODS EIU was induced in Lewis rats by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) injection. Slit...
متن کاملObservation of posterior corneal vesicles with in vivo confocal microscopy and anterior segment OCT
The histopathology of posterior corneal vesicles (PCV) has not yet been revealed. A 15-year-old girl, who was diagnosed by slit-lamp microscopy as PCV, was examined using specular microscopy, in vivo confocal microscopy, and anterior segment OCT (optical coherence tomography). Anterior segment OCT showed that the thickness of both corneas was within normal limits. At the same time, in vivo conf...
