DOI: 10.5935/0034-7280.20140033
Four hundred and thirty one cornea from transplant receptors in Rio de Janeiro were analised, most of them received from Banco de Olhos, associated to Brazilian Society of Ophtalmology (SBO) and from Rio-transplante, after temporary closing of Banco de Olhos. There is a markable difference between the percentual and incidence from the most important causes founded in this work, all of them prooved by histopathology, and the causes reported in bibliography at Sorocaba, Porto Alegre, Florianópolis, Manaus and Recife, based only in clinical archives.
