Dissociated optic nerve fiber layer in a case of Terson syndrome
1Department of Retina and Uvea, ICARE Eye Hospital & Postgraduate Institute, Noida, India.
Purpose:
To report a case of Terson syndrome who developed dissociated optic nerve fiber layer appearance after pars plana vitrectomy.
Case Report:
The author reports a young male patient with Terson syndrome who developed bilateral vitreous hemorrhage and sub-internal limiting membrane hemorrhage after road traffic accident. He underwent pars plana vitrectomy and removal of the already detached internal limiting membrane and the sub-internal limiting membrane hemorrhage in both eyes. In both eyes, dissociated optic nerve fiber layer was appreciated and left eye had a peculiar resemblance to the appearance of cystoid macular edema.
Conclusions:
Dissociated optic nerve fiber layer appearance may be noted following vitrectomy and removal of detached internal limiting membrane in patients with vitreous hemorrhage and sub-internal limiting membrane bleed due to Terson syndrome.

Stratum Basale
Stratum basale, also known as the stratum germinativum, is the deepest layer of the epidermis. It is composed of a single layer of actively dividing cells called basal cells or basal keratinocytes. These cells constantly undergo cell division to replenish the upper layers of the epidermis. Additionally, melanocytes, which...
