We report the spontaneous resolution of a massive detachment of Descemet's membrane 10 months after uneventful phacoemulsification. Diagnosis of the detachment was delayed because of severe corneal edema; thus, surgery was not performed. We propose that this complication of severe corneal edema after cataract surgery be considered and, given its excellent outcome, we recommend surgical treatment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
