Design: Interventional case report. Methods: A nonexpansile concentration of perfluoropropane gas (0.2 ml)- was injected intracamerally in the operating room under aseptic precautions. Results: There was complete and rapid resolution of corneal edema. Conclusion: Intracameral perfluoropropane gas in nonexpansile concentrationmay be a useful modality for treatment of corneal edema in acute corneal hydrops.展开更多
