Abstract
To describe a case of a patient with inferior Descemet membrane detachment that resolved after injection of small air bubble and supine positioning.
A patient presented two weeks after cataract surgery with inferior persistent corneal edema. A Descemet membrane detachment involving the inferior cornea was revealed. Injection of small air bubble was performed and the patient was advised to stay in a supine position for the next two hours and then as much as reasonably possible to allow the air bubble to press the Descemet to the posterior corneal stroma.
Five days after injection, the Descemet membrane was reattached to the corneal stroma and the cornea became clear without any evidence of edema. One month post-air injection the cornea remained clear and the Descement membrane attached.
Air injection with supine position was efficient for the resolution of inferior partial Descemet detachment after cataract surgery. The edema resolved without any further intervention.
