Abstract
Descemet membrane detachment (DMD) is a significant complication noted during or early after cataract surgery. Review of literature revealed a few cases of delayed-onset DMD with presentation ranging from weeks to months after cataract surgery but most of them were treated with pneumatic descemetopexy and a few ended in penetrating keratoplasty. We report this case, to highlight the usefulness of corneal venting incision with air tamponade in late-onset DMD cases not responding to pneumatic descemetopexy.
A retrospective case review of a 66 year old male who presented with diminution of vision in right eye 17 days after uneventful cataract surgery was done. Visual acuity in this eye was 20/200 at presentation. DMD was noted 3 days later (approximately 3 weeks post-operatively) and Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography & Scheimpflug imaging were done in view of diffuse corneal edema. Pneumatic descemetopexy was attempted thrice (twice with SF6, once with air) over a week’s span with limited success at re-attaching the DM. Finally, corneal venting incision with air tamponade was done resulting in egress of supra-descemet’s fluid and DM appeared apposed to stroma. Bandage contact lens (BCL) was applied at the end of the procedure. DM was seen attached the next day. Corneal edema cleared completely in 1 week. Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) at 6 weeks follow-up was 20/30.
Delayed-onset DMD should be considered as a differential diagnosis in cases with late-onset corneal edema post-cataract surgery. Anterior segment Optical Coherence Tomography (AS-OCT) and Scheimpflug Imaging are useful tools in cases with dense corneal edema. Corneal venting incision with air tamponade is an option in cases where methods like pneumatic descemetopexy fail.
