Summary
Intraoperative acute Descemet
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Corneal Surgery
- Ophthalmic Imaging
Background:
- Investigating acute Descemet's fold formation during intraoperative procedures.
- Utilizing swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) for detailed imaging.
Observation:
- Rapid corneal striae development noted after hydro-sealing during cataract surgery.
- SS-OCT revealed a wavy Descemet's membrane and stromal folds post-operatively.
- En face OCT confirmed stromal folds extending from Descemet's folds.
Findings:
- Descemet's folds observed as wavy Descemet's membrane on SS-OCT.
- Hypo- and hyperreflective lesions indicative of stromal folds were visualized.
- Stromal folds appeared to originate from the Descemet's membrane layer.
Implications:
- The study elucidates the mechanism of intraoperative Descemet's fold formation.
- Understanding stromal fold development aids in managing intraoperative complications.
- SS-OCT provides valuable insights into corneal structural changes.
