 Abstract
 PDF
- Terson syndrome (TS) is a condition characterized by the association of intraocular hemorrhages with an underlying intracranial bleed. Although it is widely postulated that the condition arises from raised intracranial pressure, the occurrence of papilledema is rarely reported in TS. We present a case involving a 35 year old male patient who developed TS following a head injury. Papilledema was incidentally detected and managed with measures aimed at reducing intracranial pressure. The patient subsequently experienced spontaneous resolution of both the cerebral and ocular hemorrhages, as well as resolution of the papilledema. A dilated fundus examination is strongly recommended for any patient presenting with intracranial hemorrhage (especially subarachnoid hemorrhage) to identify intraocular hemorrhages and papilledema.
