Pterygopalatine Ganglion Cell Death as an Underrecognized Mechanism in Dry Eye Syndrome: A Hypothesis with Special Attention to Diabetic Etiology
Purpose: To propose that progressive neuronal and satellite glial cell death within the pterygopalatine ganglion (PPG) is an underrecognized upstream mechanism in chronic aqueous-deficient dry eye, with particular relevance to diabetes m...
