Methods: This cross-sectional observational study was performed at the Eye Hospital and Institute of Neurophysiology, University Medical Centre Ljubljana, and included 35 patients with a clinical picture of SFN. All patients underwent a neurological exam that included an SFN questionnaire, standard skin biopsy, and ophthalmological assessment, including corneal IVCM. Results: Skin biopsy confirmed SFN in 14\/35 patients (40%). These patients had a significantly shorter corneal nerve fibre length (CNFL) compared to those with negative biopsy (13.67 \u00b1 2.99 mm\/mm2 vs. 16.27 \u00b1 3.54 mm\/mm2, p = 0.030), as well as reduced corneal nerve branch density (CNBD) (36.68 \u00b1 14.68 branches\/mm2 vs. 48.81 \u00b1 17.83 branches\/mm2, p = 0.042). CNFL reduction below the 5th percentile was proven in 13\/35 patients, yielding 64.3% sensitivity (95% CI: 35.1\u201387.2%) and 80.9% specificity (95% CI: 58.1\u201394.6%) compared to skin biopsy. In idiopathic SFN, negative IVCM results aligned with negative biopsies in 90% (95% CI: 55.5\u201399.8%) of cases. Meanwhile, in secondary SFN, positive IVCM results detected evidence of peripheral neurodegeneration in an additional 27.3% (95% CI: 6\u201361%) with negative skin biopsy. Conclusion: CNFL reduction in corneal IVCM demonstrated significant diagnostic value for SFN. Since skin biopsy findings do not always correspond with IVCM findings, corneal IVCM could be applied as a complementary tool to standard skin biopsy rather than as a replacement. It might be additionally useful for detecting patchy pattern presentations of SFN, excluding neuropathy in idiopathic SFN, and detecting neuropathy in biopsy-negative secondary SFN. In patients with positive IVCM, it could also be used as a primary tool for follow-up monitoring.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/diagnostics15172207","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,1]],"date-time":"2025-09-01T13:27:44Z","timestamp":1756733264000},"page":"2207","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["In Vivo Confocal Microscopy of the Cornea in Diagnosing Small Fibre Neuropathy: A Cross-Sectional Observational Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"David","family":"Petrovi\u010d","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, University of Ljubljana, 1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ajla","family":"Mujnovi\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, University of Ljubljana, 1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Adela","family":"Hammami","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, University of Ljubljana, 1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tja\u0161a","family":"Kra\u0161ovec","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Eye Hospital, University Medical Centre Ljubljana, 1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1794-8829","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mojca","family":"Kirbi\u0161","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Neurophysiology, University Medical Centre Ljubljana, 1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Spela","family":"Stunf Pukl","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, University of Ljubljana, 1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia"},{"name":"Eye Hospital, University Medical Centre Ljubljana, 1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"934","DOI":"10.1016\/S1474-4422(17)30329-0","article-title":"The diagnostic challenge of small fibre neuropathy: Clinical presentations, evaluations, and causes","volume":"16","author":"Terkelsen","year":"2017","journal-title":"Lancet Neurol."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"333","DOI":"10.1111\/jns.12128","article-title":"Improving assessment in small fiber neuropathy","volume":"20","author":"Brouwer","year":"2015","journal-title":"J.
