Echographic investigation in Terson's syndrome
Metabolic, Pediatric, and Systemic Ophthalmology (New York, N.Y. : 1985)
|January 1, 1990
Summary
This study shows ultrasound images of Terson
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Medical Imaging
Background:
- Terson's syndrome is a condition characterized by vitreous hemorrhage.
- Optic nerve sheath hemorrhage can occur in various neurological conditions.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present echographic findings in a patient with Terson's syndrome.
- To investigate the potential connection between vitreous and optic nerve sheath hemorrhages.
Main Methods:
- A-scan and B-scan ultrasonography were utilized.
- Echographic images were obtained from a patient diagnosed with Terson's syndrome.
Main Results:
- Echographic images revealed vitreous hemorrhage.
- The images suggested a possible continuity between the vitreous hemorrhage and hemorrhage within the optic nerve sheaths.
Conclusions:
- Ultrasound imaging can visualize the extent of hemorrhage in Terson's syndrome.
- A direct link between vitreous and optic nerve sheath hemorrhages may be present in Terson's syndrome.
