Abstract

Detachment of Descemet's membrane may occur in congenital glaucoma, birth trauma, keratoconus, Keratoglobus, Terrien's marginal degeneration, surgical and accidental traumas. Most common cause of detachment is a complication of intraocular surgery. We have experienced one case of spontaneous Descemet's membrane detachment in a 56-years-old female who was visited complaining of decreased visual acuity in her left eye of several years' duration. She has not had previous intraocular surgery, trauma and associated disease clinically. We report this case with available literature survery.
