Abstract
We report the visual outcomes and change in the Modified Barthel Index Score (BIS) in four patients with Terson's syndrome treated with vitrectomy. A retrospective study of four patients with Terson's syndrome from Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, Sydney, was carried out. Assessment of visual acuity and physical disability pre- and post-vit rectomy using the Snellen Chart and the Barthel Index, respectively, was performed. All four patients were found to have improved visual acuity and BIS post vitrectomy. Improved vision from treatment of vitreous hemorrhage decreases the disability after intracranial hemorrhage and Terson's syndrome. Early diagnosis and management would shorten the rehabilitation process and improve the quality of life. Ophthalmo logic management depends on the severity of vitreous hemorrhage, whether it is uni lateral or bilateral, and its impact on patient's daily function.
