[A rare case of corneal dysgenesis]

The authors report a rare case: corneal dermoid in a three-year-old boy. Etiologically the case may be explained by embryopathy. The prognosis was bad, therefore the eye had to be enucleated and a movable prosthesis was implanted, and thus a very good cosmetic effect achieved. Histologic study has revealed vast dysgenesis of the cornea.
