[25-Gauge transconjunctival vitrectomy in a case of bilateral epiretinal membrane associated with a Terson syndrome].
The formation of epiretinal membranes associated with proliferative vitreoretinopathy is known to be a complication of Terson syndrome. We report the first case of a 25-Gauge transconjunctival sutureless vitrectomy performed in one eye as treatment for an epiretinal membrane secondary to a case of Terson syndrome (most probably due to a history of subdural hematoma in childhood). Following a review of the current literature on the subject we report the physiopathologic mechanisms of Terson syndrome and the explanation for the proliferative vitreoretinopathy formation.
