Postoperative Descemet membrane detachment with maintenance of corneal clarity after trabeculectomy.
This case report describes an unusual complication of Descemet membrane detachment after anterior chamber reformation to treat a flat anterior chamber and hypotony from a trabeculectomy. This large Descemet membrane detachment was unexpectedly associated with a clear cornea. Treatment was conservative, and the Descemet membrane detachment spontaneously resolved in 6 months.
