====== Terson's syndrome case reports ======
A 42-year-old man presented with coma due to rupture of a left [[posterior communicating artery aneurysm]]. A preoperative CT scan demonstrated [[subarachnoid hemorrhage]] (SAH) and bilateral fundus hemorrhage. [[Visual evoked potentials]] (VEP) and B-scan [[Ophthalmologic Ultrasound]] revealed [[vitreous hemorrhage]]s, features consistent with [[Terson syndrome]]. [[Pars plana vitrectomy]] was performed 2 weeks after SAH with a subsequent improvement of [[visual acuity]].

Early identification is important for the [[recovery]] of the patient's nervous system and ophthalmology. [[Neurosurgeon]]s should be aware of the pathology and pay attention to it to maximize patient's benefit
