[Patient with severe corneal disease in KID syndrome].
METHODS
A 33-year-old woman with superficial and deep bilateral corneal vascularization and keratoconjunctivitis sicca, keratoerythema and neurosensory deafness, was diagnosed with keratitis-ichthyosis-deafness (KID) syndrome.


CONCLUSIONS
KID syndrome is a congenital ectodermal dysplasia characterized by the association of vascularizing keratitis, hyperkeratotic skin lesions and sensorineural hearing loss. Recently, limbal stem cell deficiency was recognized as a possible major pathogenetic factor.
