title: [Electron microscopic study of the corneal endothelium in 2 cases of keratitis. Herpetic disciform keratitis. Neuroparalystic keratitis with dry keratitis].
abstract: Study of corneal endothelium by scanning and transmission electron microscopy in two cases of corneal disease. In one case of herpetic keratitis with stromal oedema, there is no cellular reaction. The endothelium is damaged with cellular necrosis and nucleus irregularity. Intercellular junctions are abnormal. With TEM it is possible to say that there are two layers of cells on some places with cellular necrosis. In one case of corneal dryness with lesions of corneal anaesthesia the cells are very damaged and a retrocorneal membrane if formed by many layers of cells. The intercellular junctions are almost normal.
