摘要
Purpose: To evaluate the corneal nerve regeneration after minimally invasive corneal neurotization (MICN) and to further clarify the recovery patterns of sensory and trophic functions of the corneal nerves.Design: A retrospective cohort study based in the Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital.Methods: Eighteen patients (18 eyes) who underwent MICN for neurotrophic keratopathy due to intracranial surgery was conducted to analyze their follow-up data at 6, 12, 18, and 24 months after surgery.Results: At 12 months postoperatively, the growth of the central and peripheral corneal nerve fiber density (CNFD) was 11.47 +/- 8.56 and 14.73 +/- 8.08 n/mm 2 with subsequent improvement slowing down, and the patient's corneal epithelium defect was healed ahead of the accomplishment of corneal nerve regeneration. The number of dendritic cells also reached its peak. At 18 months postoperatively, the recovery of central and peripheral corneal sensation was 37.22 +/- 23.06 mm and 39.38 +/- 18.08 mm with no subsequent improvement, and the growth of the central and peripheral corneal nerve branch density (CNBD) was 29.69 +/- 11.05 and 43.75 +/- 1.41 n/mm 2 , with a positive and significant correlation between corneal sensation and CNBD (at central r =0.632, P <0.005; at peripheral r =0.645, P <0.005). At 24 months postoperatively, mean CNFD, CNBD, and corneal sensation recovered significantly compared with preoperative, but a few patients' corneal sensation recovered insignificantly with good CNFD recovery and poor CNBD recovery.Conclusions: After MICN, the trophic function of the corneal nerve recovers before the sensory function, and in particular, the recovery of sensation is based on the coexistence of the corneal nerve trunk and branches.
