[The gangliosides in the treatment of ocular neuropathies, First results (author's transl)].

The gangliosides (or sphingolipids) are found in high concentrations in the central nervous system. They play a certain role in the functions of the synapses. Experiments have shown that treatment with gangliosides may influence the regeneration of cholinergic and adrenergic fibers. The authors present first results of treatment with gangliosides (Cronassial) in the treatment of various ocular neuropathies.
