Bilateral subinternal limiting membrane hemorrhage with Terson syndrome.

Abstract

To report the anatomic location of bilateral dome-shaped posterior pole hemorrhages in a patient with Terson syndrome. Case report. We performed bilateral vitrectomy for vitreous hemorrhage in a patient with Terson syndrome. After removal of vitreous hemorrhage, the tissue overlying a large discrete hemorrhage in the posterior pole was removed, and the tissue from one eye was examined histologically. The discrete dome-shaped hemorrhage in the posterior pole was confined to the retina anteriorly by the internal limiting membrane. Large dome-shaped retinal hemorrhages with Terson syndrome can be located beneath the internal limiting membrane of the retina.
