Descemet membrane detachment (DMD) is a serious complication of cataract surgery noted mostly in the immediate post-operative period. We present a case series of five patients who experienced unresolved corneal edema during the post-operative period with DMD, as observed in slit-lamp examination and confirmed by anterior segment-optical coherence tomography. In all these cases, descemetopexy, along with a corneal venting incision, is performed for better and faster results, resulting in a clearer cornea. Early detection and management of DMD can give excellent visual outcomes and prevent vision loss in such cases.
后弹力层脱离(DMD)是白内障手术的一种严重并发症,主要发生在术后即刻。我们报告了一组5例患者的病例系列,这些患者在术后出现角膜水肿且未消退,裂隙灯检查观察到DMD,并经眼前节光学相干断层扫描证实。在所有这些病例中,均进行了后弹力层固定术并联合角膜排气切口,以获得更好更快的效果,使角膜更清晰。早期发现和处理DMD可在此类病例中带来极佳的视觉效果并防止视力丧失。
