Abstract: Terson syndrome refers to intraocular hemorrhage secondary to acute intracranial hypertension. Often underdiagnosed in the context of subarachnoid hemorrhage, it can be detected through careful evaluation of the ocular globes on CT imaging. We report the case of a 44-year-old man with signs of intracranial hypertension whose non-contrast cerebral CT revealed indirect features suggestive of Terson syndrome, highlighting the importance of systematic orbital assessment in neuroimaging.
