Introduction: To report a unique case with excellent clinical outcomes after late endophthalmitis following Descemet's membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) surgery requiring donor graft removal without replacement. Case presentation: A 67-year-old female with a prior ocular history of bilateral cataract surgery, Fuchs endothelial dystrophy and pseudophakic DMEK in the left eye presented with endophthalmitis 2 months after keratoplasty. DMEK graft removal without replacement with an intracameral washout, pars plana vitrectomy, intracameral and intravitreal antibiotics resulted in an excellent visual outcome (20/25). Conclusion: This is a unique case of late endophthalmitis following DMEK surgery requiring graft removal and pars plana vitrectomy with excellent visual recovery without donor replacement.
