title: [Simultaneous corneal transplantation in mucopolysaccharidosis].
abstract: We report the case of a 14 year old girl who obtained simultaneous penetrating keratoplasty for corneal opacity with functional loss as a consequence of a mucopolysaccharidosis typ Hurler/Scheie. Postoperatively, the host cornea displayed partial clearing. We discuss mechanisms possibly involved.
