- Two 15-month-old twins showed sensitivity to light and had unusual eye lesions, suggesting tyrosinemia type II.
- Tests revealed high levels of tyrosine in their blood.

Article Abstract
Fifteen-month-old twins presented with photophobia and bilateral corneal pseudodendrites, and tyrosinemia type II was suspected. Plasma tyrosine levels were elevated. After therapy with tyrosine-restricted diet, corneal lesions resolved. Bilateral pseudodendritic keratitis may be the initial or only manifestation of tyrosinemia type II.
