Terson Syndrome: Assessment of 53 Patients with Subarachnoid Hemorrhage by a Ruptured Aneurysm

Abstract Objective Terson syndrome (TS), also known as vitreous hemorrhage, is reported in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage caused by a ruptured aneurysm. This study aims to evaluate the presence of ocular hemorrhage in such patients, trying to identify those who could benefit from...
