Abstract

PURPOSE
To report a case of a macular pseudohypopyon in the right eye in bilateral Terson's syndrome. CASE SUMMARY: During a right eye vitrectomy of a 56-year-old female patient who showed bilateral Terson's syndrome with subarachnoid hemorrhage, a macular pseudohypopyon was observed. In an oval-shaped subinternal limiting membrane cyst (4x2 diameter size disc) including the central fovea, white exudates with fluid levels were present. The macular pseudohypopyon in the right eye was suspected to have occurred during the absorption of the subinternal limiting membrane hemorrhage. In the left eye, white exudates were clustered in the central fovea. In the right eye, the central fovea was above the fluid level of the pseudohypopyon, and corrected visual acuity was 1.0 after 6 months. Two months after the operation, the pseudohypopyon was absorbed.
