Terson's Syndrome is represented by a vitreous, retrohyaloid, retinal, or subretinal hemorrhage occurring consequent to an acute intracranial hemorrhage or elevated intracranial pressure. The outcome may include a complete clearing of the blood and the restoration of VA or persistent hemorrhage. This report presents the case of a 43-year-old woman who underwent bilateral surgery for a persistent vitreous hemorrhage and a hematoma underneath the internal limiting membrane in the left eye. The event followed shortly after a subarachnoid hemorrhage due to the rupture of a posterior communicating artery aneurism. Vitrectomy was performed in both eyes, together with the peeling of the internal limiting membrane in the left eye, followed by a bilateral good outcome.
