Por ello, estamos llevando a cabo un estudio de casos y controles que pretende contribuir a mejorar el conocimiento de la patogenia y del desarrollo de la lipoatrofia semicircular, y por tanto su prevención en el ámbito laboral. Support for the hypothesis that electro-stimulation is responsible for lipoatrophia semicircularis.
