Abstract

Terson's syndrome is rarely encountered in ophthalmic practice. The ophthalmologists should be acquainted with the clinical features and methods of diagnosis of this syndrome. Here we report a middleaged lady with altered sensorium, visual impairment and headache who was diagnosed as having Terson's syndrome after fundoscopy and spinal tap. It was managed conservatively.

Key words: vitreous hemorrhage; subarachnoid hemorrhage
