title: [Penetrating keratoplasty in post-burn corneal leukoma in personal material].
abstract: The authors present the surgical technique and the results of treatment of 12 patients with corneal leukoma caused by scalding. In all the cases they performed a perforating keratoplasty. Two years after operation among 7 grafts 5 were transparent. Perforating grafts in leukoma caused by a chemical burn have poor prognosis in contrary to thermic burns.
