Abstract
CASE REPORT: A 33-year-old woman with superficial and deep bilateral corneal vascularization and keratoconjunctivitis sicca, keratoerythema and neurosensory deafness, was diagnosed with keratitis-ichthyosis-deafness (KID) syndrome. DISCUSSION: KID syndrome is a congenital ectodermal dysplasia characterized by the association of vascularizing keratitis, hyperkeratotic skin lesions and sensorineural hearing loss. Recently, limbal stem cell deficiency was recognized as a possible major pathogenetic factor.Entities:
