Sumario:PURPOSE: To describe a novel technique of amniotic membrane (AM) patch graft in the management of double chamber treatment after big-bubble deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK). CASE REPORT: A 35-year-old male patient with advanced keratoconus underwent big-bubble DALK. Manual lamellar dissection was done due to failed big-bubble. First-day postoperative double chamber was detected. Air bubbling and SF6 injection were tried without any success. Double chamber resolved by fixation of AM transplantation patch graft (1 [Formula: see text] 1 mm) over the Descemet's membrane perforation with fibrin glue. CONCLUSION: Amniotic membrane patch graft can be used in the management of double chamber after DALK not responsive to intracameral gas injection.
