Bilateral descemet membrane detachment following cataract surgery.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Descemet membrane detachment (DMD) is a sight-threatening complication that has been reported after diverse surgical procedures. Unilateral DMD typically arises as the result of engagement of the Descemet membrane during intraocular surgery. We report an unusual case of bi latera l DMD occurring spontaneously several weeks after sequential uncomplicated phacoemulsification cataract extraction. We review previously reported cases and propose that these eyes share an underlying weakness of Descemet membrane attachment.

متن کاملDescemet membrane detachment in femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery: a case report
BACKGROUND Femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) has grown in popularity among ophthalmologists as a novel technique. However, descemet membrane detachment (DMD) began to be found as the complication after FLACS. We report a case of serious DMD following FLACS due to the inappropriate incision design. CASE PRESENTATION An 85-year-old man with apparent cornea arcus senilis underw...
