[Vitreo-corneal adhesions. A clinico-anatomical and ultrastructural study (author's transl].
Study of six cases of vitreous touch syndrom with histopathology of five buttoms of kératoplasty. Light and electron-microscopy demonstrate many alterations of Descemet's membrane, which is thickened, devided in sheets. In one specimen there was a retrocorneal fibrous membrane and "fibroblast like cells". These findings support the mechanism of endothelial fibrous metaplasia as the origin of the retrocorneal fibrous membrane during vitreous touch syndrom.
