title: [Corneal transplantation of a corneal graft with radial keratotomy].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  We report the case of a patient operated on for penetrating keratoplasty with a corneal graft with radial keratotomy.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 27-year-old man underwent penetrating keratoplasty for keratoconus. Graft incisions of radial keratotomy were discovered the day after surgery. Corneal graft examination and endothelial cell density were carried out postoperatively.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This case shows the potential problem of corneal graft assessment before transplantation. An examination of the donor's cornea before its removal with a portable slit lamp could make graft quality evaluation safer.
