The significance of Terson syndrome as a clinical marker of subarachnoid hemorrhage: A systematic literature review

Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a type of hemorrhagic stroke that occurs due to the rupture of an intracranial aneurysm, with high morbidity and mortality rates. One of the most common complications is Terson's syndrome (TS). Intraocular hemorrhage can occur simultaneously in patients with SAH due to a rapid increase in intracranial pressure. Terson syndrome has significance for the clinical markers of SAH, including the mechanism, degree of severity, and implications. A systematic literature review was conducted to assess the significance of Terson syndrome for subarachnoid hemorrhage. The sources used were publications from the last five years that were relevant to the topic. The results of the study show that Terson syndrome has significance for clinical markers of SAH, such as low GCS scores, high Hunt and Hess scores, and high Fisher Scale scores, all of which are markers of severe SAH.
