title: [Keratoconus in Albers-Schönberg disease].
abstract: A 34-year-old patient presents bilateral keratoconus with osteo-condensing and osteolysis at the level of long bones, oligophrenia, perception deafness, muscular atrophy, anemia, arterial hypertension--typical manifestation of Albers-Schönberg malady. Osteopetrosis is manifested through an important condensing of the cortical and of bones' spongeous traveas, with medullary channel disappearance and particular bone fragility, which made the affection to be named as "marble bones' illness". The affection is caused by a congenital alteration of the mesenchyma, with excessive deposit of calcium at the level of bones, cartilages, tendons, viscera and vessels. The presence of keratoconus in Albers-Schönberg malady hasn't been mentioned in the medical literature.
