title: Keratoconus and Leber's congenital amaurosis: a clinicopathological correlation.
abstract: A 42-year-old man with Leber's congenital amaurosis, cataracts and keratoconus died following abdominal surgery. Postmortem pathological examination of the globes disclosed cone-shaped corneas with unusual central subepithelial scars and a retinopathy consistent with retinitis pigmentosa. A review of the family history revealed two siblings with congenital blindness.
