To report a patient who presented with bluish scleral discoloration, keratoconus, and progressive high myopia.
A 6-year-old Chinese female patient presented with a significant bluish discoloration of the sclera in both eyes and extreme corneal thinning with anterior corneal protrusion. General pediatric physical examination was normal for all systems and no genetic disorders known were observed.
