    AbstractCases were corneas have been collected from poisoned patients are extremely rare. Globally, no more than a dozen or so such instances have been reported, with the decided majority concerning cyanide poisonings. The present study outlines a case of severe methanol poisoning, the course of which resulted in the brain death, and the female patient was duly qualified as a potential donor of corneas and kidneys. Due to the suspicion of a neoplastic process in the abdominal cavity, collection of the kidneys was desisted from. According to the knowledge of the authors of the work, this is the first case of transplantation of corneas collected from a person poisoned with methanol in Poland.
