Résumé :

Deep infiltrating endometriosis is a very painful condition and the mechanism of pain is still poorly understood. Pain and hyperalgesia can partly be explained by an increased number of nerve structures in the painful lesion. In order to clarify this issue, we assessed the nerve density in deep infiltrating endometriotic nodules of the posterior vagina and in the adjacent healthy vaginal tissue of the same patient.
