Abstract
Case report

A 22-year-old woman with an acute hydrops and Descemet membrane detachment was managed by intracameral air injection combined with multiple corneal stromal venting incisions for the drainage of intrastromal fluid. No intraoperative complications were encountered, and the intrastromal fluid was resolved over 2 weeks.

Discussion

Acute corneal hydrops is a significant complication of keratoconus. If not treated, resolution usually occurs over a period of 2–4 months. The persistent edema can cause complications, such as corneal neovascularisation, infection and corneal perforation.

Keywords:
Hydrops
Descemet membrane detachment
Air
Intracameral injection
Keratoconus
