Ocular Surface Stem Cell Transplantation for Treatment of Keratitis–Ichthyosis–Deafness Syndrome
Conclusions:
KID syndrome is a rare cause of LSCD. Although OSST can stabilize the surface, long-term treatment of KID syndrome can be challenging. An lr-CLAL may offer further benefit over a KLAL in these eyes because it is HLA- and ABO-matched tissue; it also helps to treat keratoconjunctivitis sicca, often a prominent feature of KID syndrome.
