[Terson syndrome associated with a carotid-ophthalmic giant aneurysm].
PURPOSE/MATERIAL AND METHOD: A case of a 42 year-old woman presenting headache, vomiting and loss of consciousness of sudden onset. Upon testing right eye presented amaurosis while left eye showed a visual acuity of 20/50.


CONCLUSIONS
Brain angiography showed a right sided giant carotid aneurysm at the ophthalmic artery area. Globe fundus in left eye showed vitreal and intra-retinal hemorrhage appearing in retinal posterior pole and periphery of the retina. Subarachnoidal hemorrhage accompanied by intra-vitreal bleeding is known as Terson's Syndrome. Peculiarities of this clinical case are discussed in this paper.
