Nontraumatic Descemet Membrane Detachment with Tear in Osteogenesis Imperfecta

Abstract: We report the first case of unilateral spontaneous Descemet membrane detachment (DMD) with tear occurring in a patient with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI). A 20-year-old male patient with OI presented with a history of recent primary repair (2 weeks prior) of left globe rupture following local finger trauma to the left eye. The patient had no history of other ocular surgery or trauma. The examination revealed a best corrected visual acuity of 20/40 in the right and no light perception in the left eye. Slit-lamp … Show more

“…Upon investigation, these individuals showed glaucomatous cupping of the optic nerve, leading to visual field loss (Wallace et al, 2014). Other vision-related issues included choroidal neovascularization (Bellanca, Scarinci, & Parravano, 2018), bilateral full thickness macular hole, and Descemet membrane detachment (Polat & Ulucan, 2015) (Table S1).…”

“…The scleral integrity can be severely disrupted and translucent to the underlying uvea, resulting in blue sclera. OI can also present as thin cornea, megalocornea, keratoconus, ocular fragility, zonular cataracts, dislocated lens, congenital glaucoma, optic atrophy, papilledema, partial color blindness, detachment of Descemet's membrane, or retinal and subhyaloid hemorrhage [21,28,29]. Eye rubbing or finger trauma can lead to corneal or global rupture due to increased ocular fragility, creating concern for scleral perforation during routine procedures [5].…”

“…Accidental. Five case reports described ruptures or laceration of the cornea after minor trauma in young patients with OI type I (Natarajan et al 2003;Unver et al 2009;Polat & Ulucan 2015;Oh et al 2016;Campagna et al, 2018). Two case reports reported a corneal laceration in a child (Natarajan et al 2003;Campagna et al, 2018).…”

“…Two case reports reported a corneal laceration in a child (Natarajan et al 2003;Campagna et al, 2018). Three case reports described corneal or globe ruptures caused by finger trauma or eye-rubbing (Unver et al 2009;Polat & Ulucan 2015;Oh et al 2016). All studies reported fragility of the cornea which made surgical repair more difficult.…”
