| Abstract |
To report a surgical method for treating corneal oedema in a case of late-onset Descemet membrane detachment after penetrating keratoplasty. A 55-year old patient presented with sudden visual loss in his left eye 28 years after penetrating keratoplasty for keratoconus. Slit-lamp biomicroscopy revealed a distortion of the corneal graft anatomy with protrusion of the graft and peripheral thinning and steepening in the residual host tissue, accompanied by corneal graft oedema. Anterior segment optical coherence tomography revealed detachment of Descemet membrane localized to the area of the graft oedema. We proceeded with a full-thickness, partially circumferential incision in the graft-host junction, followed by repositioning and re-suturing of the graft in place, and intracameral air injection in order to achieve reattachment of Descemet membrane. Corneal graft repositioning in combination with re-bubbling may represent an effective therapeutic option in keratoconic patients with peripheral thinning in the residual host corneal tissue and subsequent Descemet membrane detachment. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 17 August 2017.
All research outputs
#20,438,227
of 22,992,311 outputs
Outputs from Eye and Vision
#120
of 241 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#275,982
of 317,188 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Eye and Vision
#2
of 6 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,992,311 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 241 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.5. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 317,188 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 6 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 4 of them.
