Case in brief
This report details a novel technique for stabilizing the anterior chamber during endothelial keratoplasty in patients with compromised anterior segment architecture. Three complex cases were successfully managed using posterior segment pressurization via intravitreal balanced salt solution (BSS) injection. All patients achieved stable anterior chamber configuration and secure graft attachment without complications related to air or gas migration.
Diagnostic / clinical pearl
Intravitreal BSS injection can effectively stabilize the anterior chamber during endothelial keratoplasty in cases with distorted iris anatomy or prior surgeries, where traditional methods may fail.
