TERSON SYNDROME

Originally posted on @retina.rocks 01/17/2020

This patient presented with these retinal findings following a ruptured brain aneurysm.

The fundus photo of the left eye shows subhayloid and deep, radiating retinal hemorrhages in the outer plexiform layer.

Learning Points:
Terson’s syndrome is a condition in which retinal and/or vitreous hemorrhages are associated with spontaneous or traumatic intracranial hemorrhage. These deeper retinal hemorrhages are somewhat similar to those seen in hemorrhagic unilateral retinopathy.
