Purpose: To report a case of spontaneously reattached Descemet’s membrane detachment, which first occurred during the cataract surgery, and still remained after injection of 100% air into the chamber. Case summary: A 78-year-old woman came to the clinic with decreased visual acuity. She had a brunescent cataract and underwent extracapsular cataract extraction with a posterior chamber lens implantation. During the irrigation and aspiration procedure, the Descemet’s membrane was torn and detached. An anterior chamber injection of 100% air was performed prior to the conclusion of surgery. Descemet’s membrane detachment remained at the center of the cornea and was naturally reattached without any surgical procedure. At 2 months after the surgery, a well-reattached Descemet’s membrane and a clear central cornea were observed. Conclusions: Descemet’s membrane detachment is a rare but potentially serious complication of intraocular surgery. The authors report a case of naturally reattached Descemet’s membrane detachment which remained after injection of 100% air into the chamber.
