This study aimed to report the graft sequelae of retained host Descemet's membrane (DM) following Penetrating Keratoplasty (PKP). A 75-year-old male diagnosed with retained host DM with Anterior segment optical coherence tomography (ASOCT). Nd:YAG membranotomy resulted in graft failure. Later, DM stripping endothelial keratoplasty with removal of the host DM was done. Review of literature was done to discuss the best treatment modality.
