Fabry disease is a rare X-linked lysosomal storage disorder caused by alpha-galactosidase A deficiency, leading to globotriaosylceramide accumulation in multiple organs, including the eye, where corneal verticillata represents a typical sign. This case report examines the effect of migalastat on corneal deposits in a female who experienced therapy interruption during two pregnancies. It emphasizes the importance of multidisciplinary care with ophthalmologic follow-up and explores long-term effects of migalastat on corneal deposits and disease progression.

Abstract
Fabry disease is a rare X-linked lysosomal storage disorder caused by alpha-galactosidase A deficiency, leading to globotriaosylceramide accumulation in multiple organs, including the eye, where corneal verticillata represents a typical sign. This case report examines the effect of migalastat on corneal deposits in a female who experienced therapy interruption during two pregnancies. It emphasizes the importance of multidisciplinary care with ophthalmologic follow-up and explores long-term effects of migalastat on corneal deposits and disease progression.
