Abstract:This prospective trial was designed to evaluate the incidence of Terson syndrome in patients suffering from subarachnoid hemorrhage, intracerebral hemorrhage, or traumatic brain injury and whether consequences necessarily derive from the intraocular hemorrhage itself. Two ophthalmologic examinations were performed to identify patients with Terson syndrome. Data on initial Glasgow Coma Scale, Hunt and Hess and Fisher grades, aneurysm site and diameter, and volume of hemorrhage in intracerebral hemorrhage patien… Show more
“…Terson syndrome is the combination of intraocular (vitreous, sub-hyloid or intraretinal/sub-internal limiting membrane) hemorrhage associated with subarachnoid hemorrhage, intracerebral hemorrhage, or traumatic brain injury [7]. Terson syndrome occurs in 3.1% of traumatic head injuries [7].…”

“…Terson syndrome occurs in 3.1% of traumatic head injuries [7]. Terson syndrome has been reported to be caused by or associated with multiple conditions related to a spike in intracranial pressure.…”

“…Many patients who return home have remaining deficits, often cognitive ones. Of those former patients who have returned home, only a third resume previous employment completely [ 27 ], and no more than 5 % feel to have recovered completely [ 28 ].…”

“…However, the data we have strongly support a screening strategy in case of familial subarachnoid hemorrhage. In persons with two or more affected relatives, the lifetime risk of subarachnoid hemorrhage is considerable, with point estimates as high as 25 % [ 27 ]. At initial screening, the chance of finding an aneurysm is around 10 % [ 28 ].…”

“…TS has also been reported in nonaneurysmal SAH, severe traumatic injuries or venous thrombosis 2 . Current literature has highlighted TS as an important life-threatening prognostic finding 3,4 . Recognizing TS on fundoscopy or CT is recommended and effective control of IP is imperative to reduce the risk of mortality in this critical setting Figure.…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
