Descriptor English: Corneal Neovascularization
Descriptor Spanish: Neovascularización de la Córnea
Descriptor neovascularización de la córnea
Entry term(s) angiogénesis corneal
Scope note: Vasos sanguíneos nuevos que se originan a partir de los vasos sanguíneos corneales y que se extienden desde el limbo hasta el ESTROMA CORNEAL adyacente. La neovascularización en el estroma corneal superficial, profundo o ambos es una secuela de numerosas enfermedades inflamatorias del segmento anterior del ojo, como tracoma, QUERATITIS intersticial vírica, QUERATOCONJUNTIVITIS microbiana y la respuesta inmunitaria que se produce por un TRASPLANTE DE CÓRNEA.

Scope note: New blood vessels originating from the corneal blood vessels and extending from the limbus into the adjacent CORNEAL STROMA. Neovascularization in the superficial and/or deep corneal stroma is a sequel to numerous inflammatory diseases of the ocular anterior segment, such as TRACHOMA, viral interstitial KERATITIS, microbial KERATOCONJUNCTIVITIS, and the immune response elicited by CORNEAL TRANSPLANTATION.
