The authors report a case of a 19-year-old patient presenting with type VI mucopolysaccharidosis, diagnosed by genetic-clinical examination, demonstrating several systemic manifestations, including ocular disorders such as: corneal opacity, elevated intra-ocular pressure and increase of corneal thickness. The authors discuss the characteristic syndromic findings and the influence of corneal thickness associated with an increase in intraocular pressure leading to unnecessary antiglaucomatous treatment.
