This case report details a 13-year-old African girl diagnosed with bilateral keratoconus. Histopathology confirmed characteristic corneal thinning and Bowman's layer breaks after a keratoplasty.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Keratoconus is a common corneal dystrophy affecting young adults.
  • Early diagnosis and management are crucial for preserving vision.

Observation:

  • A 13-year-old female of African origin presented with bilateral keratoconus.
  • Initial management with contact lenses was unsuccessful in improving vision.

Findings:

  • Corneal curvature and thickness changes confirmed the diagnosis.
  • Histopathological examination revealed breaks in Bowman's layer and corneal thinning, characteristic of keratoconus.

Implications:

  • This case highlights keratoconus presentation in a young, specific demographic.
  • Surgical intervention like keratoplasty may be necessary when conservative treatments fail.
