Abstract
After corneal transplantation, the patients' problems are far from being definitively resolved. The transplant pathology requires an attentive follow-up, as there is always a danger of corneal graft failure. We present here the case of young patient who had a corneal transplantation after an eye injury and who has developed a corneal ulcer on the grafted cornea, with subsequent risk of graft failure and consequent loss of the eye.
