[Limbal stem cell deficiency associated with KID syndrome, about a case].

We report the case of a 30-year-old woman with KID (keratitis ichthyosis deafness) syndrome consulting for massive corneal neovascularization. She had already undergone two unsuccessful penetrating keratoplasties in her left eye. Visual acuity was limited to no more than light perception because of the opacity and neovascularization of the graft. In the light of this case of limbal cell deficiency, we discuss the ophthalmologic manifestations of KID syndrome as well as its clinical characteristics, physiopathology, and mode of transmission.
