Keratoglobus in the Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome.
The case of a 20-year-old male with the Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome associated with unilateral acute corneal hydrops is presented. The initial findings were of keratoglobus, but after the corneal oedema had settled the cornea assumed a more conical contour. The relationship between keratoglobus, keratoconus, and acute hydrops is discussed.
