title: Cornea plana and sclerocornea in association with recessive epidermolysis bullosa dystrophica. Case report.
abstract: We report a case of bilateral cornea plana and sclerocornea in a 14-year-old boy with recessive epidermolysis bullosa dystrophica. This is the first reported association of these anomalies. Bilateral cataracts were present at initial presentation. These spontaneously reabsorbed over the subsequent 18 months.
