title: [Congenital corneal anesthesia. A case report].
abstract: Congenital corneal anesthesia (CCA) is an uncommon condition difficult to diagnose. We report the case of a 4-year-old girl who presented with bilateral congenital corneal anesthesia revealed by a corneal ulcer which had been unresponsive to adapted local treatment. Self-inflicted corneal injuries were present. It is important to search for corneal anesthesia in children with chronic ulceration of the cornea and selfinflicted injuries.
