Options include observation, topical treatment with steroids and hyperosmotic agents, intracameral air or long acting gas and viscoelastic injection, transcorneal suturing, endothelial and penetrating keratoplasty. A 72 years old man underwent a cataract surgery. At the fi rst postoperative month, the patient\'s corneal edema was still present.

Descemet\'s membrane detachment was successfully treated with intracamaral isoexpansile perfl uoropropane (14%) injection. Keywords : Cornea, Descement?s membrane detachment, Perfl uoropropane
