Purpose: To report a case of fibrosed and detached Descemet’s membrane (DM) after cataract surgery managed with Descemet’s stripping endothelial keratoplasty (DSEK).
Surgery: The fibrosed and detached DM layer was stripped from the cornea and donor DSEK graft was placed.
Results: A 6 months follow-up showed a good visual recovery with clear cornea and an attached donor graft to the host cornea.
Conclusion: DSEK is an effective option for managing a fibrosed and detached DM which fail to attach spontaneously or after decmetopexy.
