Abstract
Abstract Purpose To present a case report of Descement’s Membrane Detachment after cataract surgery diagnosed using a Very High Frequency ultrasound scanning system (Artemis 2, Ultralink LLC). Methods A 74‐ year‐old female was referred to our institute due to persistent corneal edema after cataract surgery. Slit lamp examination revealed severe total corneal edema (obscuring anterior chamber and iris). Using a very high frequency (VHF) ultrasound scanning system (Artemis 2, Ultralink LLC) Descement’s Membrane Detachment (DMD) was diagnosed. Results The patient was treated with anterior chamber air tamponade using a 27 gauge cannula attached to a syringe with a filter riled under topical anesthesia. Descement's membrane was successfully reattached and corneal edema resolved after two weeks. Conclusion This case report demonstrates that the VHF ultrasound scanning system (Artemis 2, Ultralink LLC) could be a useful instrument for the early recognition and possible management of DMD after cataract surgery, especially in patients in which diagnosis is difficult due to significant corneal clouding.
