چکیده انگلیسی
We present two cases with focal corneal edema due to Fuchs' endothelial dystrophy that were successfully treated with mini Descemet membrane stripping (m-DMES) (diameter of 3-4Â mm; at the area of preexisting focal corneal edema) without endothelial replacement during cataract surgery. Specular microscopy demonstrated Fuchs' endothelial dystrophy and histopathologic evaluation confirmed the diagnosis. Anterior segment optical coherence tomography and confocal microscopy were used for the evaluation of the corneal tissue recovery course after the surgical procedure. In both patients, we observed an initial aggravation of corneal edema in the area of DM removal for two months followed by gradual improvement. At four months postoperatively, corneal edema had completely regressed resulting in corneal clearance and visual acuity improvement in both cases. M-DMES without graft insertion represents a promising alternative surgical technique that could be applied in specific cases of Fuchs' endothelial dystrophy with focal corneal edema.
