Abstract

CHINCHURRETA-CAPOTE, A; CHINCHURRETA, P.; RANCHAL, P.  and  PEREZ, F.. Terson's syndrome associated with Arnold-Chiari I malformation. Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol [online]. 2007, vol.82, n.2, pp.113-116. ISSN 0365-6691.

Case report: We present a patient with bilateral Terson’s syndrome after brainstem surgical decompression as treatment for her Arnold-Chiari I malformation. We have studied and compared the progression of preretinal hemorrhage after Nd:YAG laser treatment of the right eye and observation of the left, and also the formation of an epiretinal membrane in the left eye. Discussion: Treatment of Terson’s syndrome is based on observation or surgery according to different criteria. Hyaloidectomy with YAG laser produces good results in selected cases.

Keywords : Terson syndrome; vitreous hemorrhage; subhyaloid hemorrhage; Arnold-Chiari Malformation; epiretinal membrane.
