| Summary: | We report the use of anterior segment optical coherence tomography (ASOCT) in Descemet’s membrane detachment (DMD). A patient
who developed DMD after uneventful cataract surgery with posterior chamber lens implantation is presented in this case report. At the
follow-up examination after cataract surgery, slit-lamp evaluation showed stromal striae, but it was impossible to diagnose the DMD
due to the corneal edema. ASOCT imaging of the cornea revealed a DMD, and the patient underwent intracameral air injection to the
anterior chamber through the site which was identified as intact by ASOCT. Follow-up ASOCT imaging revealed the reattachment of the
Descemet’s membrane and reduced corneal thickness. If DMD is suspected in any cases, ASOCT can be useful to document and follow
the postsurgical detachment of DMD and also to determine the site, configuration, and extent of the DMD, thus guiding the treatment
method and monitoring the treatment outcome. (Turk J Ophthalmol 2014; 44: 407-9) |
