“…A recent study has described three patterns of Descemet membrane detachment: detachment with break and rolled ends, detachment with break and flat ends, and detachment with no break [25]. Eyes with deeper Descemet membrane detachments and larger Descemet membrane breaks require more time for resolution of corneal edema despite intracameral gas injection [25]. Aurich et al [27] demonstrated that in intrastromal cysts, there is an area of hyporeflectivity within the corneal stromal bed on slit lamp adapted optical coherence tomography.…”

The intent of this article is to highlight the various risk factors and the newer diagnostic modalities such as ultra biomicroscopy, anterior segment optical coherence tomography and confocal microscopy in cases of acute corneal hydrops. Further, the conventional as well as the newer treatment modalities are also described. Although newer diagnostic and treatment modalities are found to be useful, the available information in literature is limited. This article will encourage future prospective studies and randomized controlled trials, which may help in finding novel diagnostic and effective therapeutic techniques.

“…A study of anterior segment optical coherence tomography of cases involving acute hydrops described two stages in resolution. 24 The first was reattachment of Descemet's membrane, followed by endothelial migration across the tear. There are no other associated ocular abnormalities with keratoglobus.…”

Keratoglobus is a rare noninflammatory corneal thinning disorder characterised by generalised thinning and globular protrusion of the cornea. It was first described as a separate clinical entity by Verrey in 1947. Both congenital and acquired forms have been shown to occur, and may be associated with various other ocular and systemic syndromes including the connective tissue disorders. Similarities have been found with other noninflammatory thinning disorders like keratoconus that has given rise to hypotheses about the aetiopathogenesis. However, the exact genetics and pathogenesis are still unclear. Clinical presentation is characterised by progressive diminution resulting from irregular corneal topography with increased corneal fragility due to extreme thinning. Conservative and surgical management for visual rehabilitation and improved tectonic stability have been described, but remains challenging. In the absence of a definitive standard procedure for management of this disorder, various surgical procedures have been attempted in order to overcome the difficulties. This article reviews the aetiological factors, differential diagnosis, histopathology, and management options of keratoglobus.

“…Depuis les premières images du segment antérieur réalisées au milieu des années 1990, l'OCT-SA s'est rapidement développé avec de très nombreuses applications dans les pathologies du segment antérieur [17,18]. Des images de kératocône aigu ont été récemment décrites en IVCM ainsi que sur des coupes sagittales en OCT-SA [19][20][21]. Ces dernières ont permis de montrer que la taille de la brèche de la membrane de Descemet était corrélée à la durée de résorption de l'oedème cornéen et de suivre les différentes étapes de sa cicatrisation.…”
