Intérêt de la microscopie confocale in vitro dans l'étude des membranes épirétiniennes et des membranes limitantes internes après chirurgie maculaire

The confocal microscope provided a fast, three-dimensional analysis of ERMs and ILMs. An immunohistological study identified cells that take part in the genesis of the membranes. Glial cells were found both in ERM and ILM specimens. Our findings suggest that Müller's cells may contribute to the pathogenesis of ERM and macular hole development.
