Case Reports
Endothelial keratoplasty: first report of a ruptured globe after deep lamellar endothelial keratoplasty.
To report a case of ruptured globe after endothelial keratoplasty. ⋯ A ruptured globe caused by blunt trauma can occur after endothelial keratoplasty as it can after other intraocular procedures. In this case, the endothelial graft was extruded with separation of the donor-graft interface. The incidence has yet to be determined and whether it is less than that after standard penetrating keratoplasty surgery will require further long-term studies.
