We present the case of an eight-year-old boy, admitted into "Daniel Bracamonte Hospital" in the city of Potosi. He carne from a rural area and showed a progressive impairment of visión, as well as other related symptoms. Once the physical and complementary tests were performed, it was concluded that he suffered from Hurler Scheie's syndrome, which is a mucopolysaccharidosis, rare in our environment. We took this case to describe the disease.

Keywords : Hurler Scheie Syndrome; mucopolysaccharidosis.
