[Vitrectomy in Terson's Syndrome].

AIM OF THE STUDY

The authors present results of vitrectomy in the treatment of a 50 year old woman with Terson's Syndrome.

MATERIAL

Pars plana vitrectomy was performed in two eyes of a 50 year old woman with vitreous hemorrhage caused by the rupture of cerebral arteries aneurysms. The vitreous hemorrhage occurred two days after the neurosurgery procedure. Visual acuity in both eyes was hand movement and did not change after pharmacotherapy and cryotherapy. Pars plana vitrectomy was performed in the right eye 3, 5 months after the hemorrhage and in the left eye 5 months after the hemorrhage. Visual acuity 5/12 in the right eye and 5/7 in the left eye was achieved after the vitrectomy and 5/50 (the decrease caused by cataract) and 5/7 after 11 and 7 months of follow-up.

CONCLUSION

Pars plana vitrectomy is a method of choice in the cases of binocular Terson's Syndrome and accelerates returning of useful visual acuity.
