Description
Abstract
A controlled study of the ciliated epithelium of olfactory lnucosa was perfornled on 25 patients affected by retinitis pigmentosa and in 5 healthy sul3jects. Scanning Electron Microscopy showed a bignificant lack of ciliated epithelia1 cells. These cells probably represent undifferentiated ciliated cells. These morphological alterations of the olfactory mucosn might correspond to similar changes in the outer segment of retinal photoreceptors in rctinitis pigmentosa.
