PURPOSE Hairy cell leukemia (HCL) is a rare disorder that occasionally has visual symptoms after diagnosis. The authors present a case of HCL in which bilateral visual symptoms led to the initial diagnosis. METHODS Observational case report. RESULTS Bilateral decreased vision to 20/30 in the right eye and 20/40 in the left due to intraretinal and preretinal hemorrhages with no other systemi...

A 36-year-old woman presented with acute severe headache and generalized tonic-clonic seizures. CT head scan revealed a tentorial acute subdural hemorrhage (ASDH) and posterior globe hyperdensities suggestive of intraocular blood with a right posterior communicating artery aneurysm on cerebral angiography (figure 1). Ophthalmologic assessment confirmed Terson syndrome (figure 2). Terson’s origi...

Objectives: To report a rare occurrence combination of central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) and Terson syndrome in a Barrow's type A carotid cavernous fistula (CCF) patient. Methods: Observational case report. Results: A twenty-year-old male patient with a history of road traffic accident presented with periorbital swelling and redness in the left eye. Examination revealed a CRAO with intrar...

Manuscript received: 03.05.17; Revision accepted: 08.08.17 We describe the evolution of subinternal limiting membrane (ILM) hemorrhage associated with anemic retinopathy on fundus autofluorescence (FAF) and spectral domain optical coherence tomography (OCT). A 27-year-old male with megaloblastic anemia complained of defective vision in the right eye (RE). Fundus examination revealed multiple Ro...

INTRODUCTION Vitreous or retinal hemorrhage occurring in association with subarachnoid hemorrhage is known as Terson's syndrome. In Terson's syndrome, intracranial hemorrhages are followed by intraocular hemorrhage, classically in the subhyaloid space, but may also include subretinal, retinal, preretinal, and vitreal collections. Vitreous hemorrhage recovery is usually spontaneous in six to 12 ...

A previously well 33-year-old man with no history of trauma or substance abuse presented with poor right eye visual acuity, somnolence, and vomiting several hours after sudden onset of severe, persistent headache. Examination revealed only a right relative afferent papillary defect and subretinal blood on funduscopy (Terson syndrome, figure 1A). Hunt and Hess grade was 3. CT showed right subdur...

INTRODUCTION We encountered a patient with Klinefelter syndrome (KS) who experienced poor outcomes after vitrectomy for proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). CASE A 44-year-old male with poorly controlled diabetes was diagnosed with KS by chromosome analysis. Ocular findings revealed severe PDR complicated with extensive preretinal hemorrhages and traction retinal detachment in his left e...

PURPOSE To evaluate features of optical coherence tomography (OCT) associated with Shaken Baby syndrome (SBS) in an attempt to gain new insight into the pathophysiology of this phenomenon. DESIGN Institutional prospective observational case series. METHODS We report three infants with SBS. Each patient underwent an ophthalmic examination including slit-lamp biomicroscopy, dilated indirect o...
