The ocular pathology of Terson’s Syndrome. Ophthalmology 2010;117:1423-1429 Terson’s Syndrome Prognostic Value Prospective, consecutive case series of 47 emergency room patients with diagnosis of acute subarachnoid hemorrhage Fourteen patients (29%) were diagnosed with Terson’s Syndrome – Bilateral 57% – Vitreous hemorrhage 14.2% – 50% died Sung W, Arnaldo B, Sergio C, et al. Terson’s syndrome as a prognostic factor for mortality of spontaneous subarachnoid haemorrhage. Acta Ophthalmologica 2011;89:544-547 Terson’s Syndrome Treatment Spontaneous resorption Vitrectomy Prospective, uncontrolled study of 102 patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage 20/102 (19.6%) patients had Terson’s syndrome – 9 eyes (40%) underwent vitrectomy (mean interval to surgery was 4.4 months) – 4 eyes underwent internal limiting membrane peeling – Visual acuity significantly improved in all patients Skevas C, Czorlich P, Knospe V, et al. Terson’s Syndrome-Rate and surgical approach in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage. Ophthalmology 2014:1-6 Terson’s Syndrome As the presenting symptom of intracranial hemorrhage: 2 case reports 50yo male presented with decrease vision in right eye – admitted for investigation – lost consciousness – large intraventricular bleed 38yo male presented with sudden loss of vision in both eyes – no other neurological symptoms at presentation – subarachnoid hemorrhage Subbiah S, Wilson S, Best R.
