Spontaneous hemorrhagic Descemet membrane detachment: Imaging, diagnosis, and management

This case highlights the need to consider pre-Descemet hemorrhage on the differential diagnosis for anterior segment hemorrhage even in the absence of risk factors such as surgery and trauma. This case, initially thought to represent a hyphema, underscores the importance of anterior segment imaging in accurate diagnosis and monitoring of this condition. Lastly, this case illustrates a management approach that successfully cleared the hemorrhage, reattached Descemet membrane, and restored visual acuity without keratoplasty.

Abstract

This case highlights the need to consider pre-Descemet hemorrhage on the differential diagnosis for anterior segment hemorrhage even in the absence of risk factors such as surgery and trauma. This case, initially thought to represent a hyphema, underscores the importance of anterior segment imaging in accurate diagnosis and monitoring of this condition. Lastly, this case illustrates a management approach that successfully cleared the hemorrhage, reattached Descemet membrane, and restored visual acuity without keratoplasty.
