Abstract
A case of Fabry''s disease [in man] was reported. Corneal alterations found by light microscopy and EM were described. The diffuse corneal haziness seemed to be due to small intracellular osmiophilic inclusions of the epithelium. There also seemed to be a relation between the giant inclusions in the corneal epithelium, not yet described, and the clinical presence of punctiform grey opacities. The pathogenesis of the whorl-like opacities remained unsolved.Keywords
