Supra-Descemetic Venting Incision in the Management of Spontaneous Descemet Membrane Detachment in an Old Penetrating Keratoplasty Graft

Conclusions: Late spontaneous DMD of the graft after PKP is very uncommon and must be differentiated from acute graft rejection. Anterior segment optical coherence tomography may help to diagnose this entity that can be managed successfully despite late intervention. The addition of a venting incision that drains fluid from the supra-Descemetic space can increase the chance of success of descemetopexy when compared with descemetopexy with air or gas alone.
