Abstract
-
PURPOSE: We intend to report that a case of total Descemet's membrane detachment, occured after cataract operation which was reattached with non-expansible SF6 gas infusion.
METHODS
77-year-old woman who was undertaken cataract surgey 7days ago showed corneal edema, decreased visual acuity and rolled detached Descemet's membrane which was attached inferior cornea. Nine days after cataract surgery, 0.25 ml of non-expansible SF6 gas 20% was infused into anterior chamber.
RESULTS
Three days after intracameral injection of non-expansible SF6 gas 20%, Descemet's membrane was begin to reattach and corneal edema was improved progressively.
CONCLUSIONS
When total Descemet's membrane detachment occurs after intraocular surgery, intracameral injection of non-expansible SF6 gas is to be a effective treatment.
