Abstract
Corneal infection extending to the sclera and internal angle structures is the main cause of recurrence of fungal keratitis after corneal transplantation. Sectorial full-thickness sclero-keratoplasty combined with a central penetrating keratoplasty should be a surgical technique to be considered in cases where these locations are suspected to be the source of recurrence. It enables a definitive elimination of the infection, with excellent final visual acuities. No postoperative complications were reported in this case.
