| Summary: | Terson's syndrome is a condition of vitreous haemorrhage occurring in association with subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH). This condition is uncommon during pregnancy. We report a fatal case of Terson's syndrome in a pregnant lady. She presented with an episode of seizure and complained of blurring of vision in the right eye after the seizure. Examination revealed subhyaloid haemorrhage in the right eye. The left fundus was normal. Subsequent investigations revealed a posterior communicating artery aneurysm. We would like to highlight that any case of non-traumatic vitreous haemorrhage with neurological symptoms and signs must be worked up as neuro-ophthalmic emergency. |
