INTRODUCTION: We report the case of a patient operated on for penetrating keratoplasty with a corneal graft with radial keratotomy. CASE REPORT: A 27-year-old man underwent penetrating keratoplasty for keratoconus. Graft incisions of radial keratotomy were discovered the day after surgery. Corneal graft examination and endothelial cell density were carried out postoperatively. CONCLUSION: This case shows the potential problem of corneal graft assessment before transplantation. An examination of the donor's cornea before its removal with a portable slit lamp could make graft quality evaluation safer.
