A rare case of retrocorneal membrane with Descemet's detachment was observed. This unique finding may stem from herpes simplex keratitis or other corneal trauma.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Corneal Surgery

Background:

  • Retrocorneal membranes are rare corneal opacities.
  • Descemet's detachment can lead to vision impairment.

Observation:

  • A 65-year-old male presented with intermittent cloudy vision.
  • Serial examinations revealed an inflammatory retrocorneal membrane and a large Descemet's detachment.

Findings:

  • The membrane covered 60% of the posterior cornea, but vision remained 20/20.
  • Empirical treatment improved symptoms, yet the membrane persisted.

Implications:

  • This case may represent reduplicated Descemet's membrane secondary to deep herpes simplex keratitis.
  • Other potential causes include spontaneous or traumatic Descemet's tears.
