A report is given on three patients who developed spontaneous subarachnoidal bleeding, together with vitreous hemorrhage (Terson's syndrome). In two patients the vitreous hemorrhage was unilateral and showed spontaneous resorption within 15 months. The third patient presented with bilateral vitreous hemorrhage, which first showed slow spontaneous resorption. Five months later, however, secondary vitreous bleeding occurred. Vitrectomy was therefore performed in both eyes. Post-operatively, both eyes developed focal vitreoretinal reproliferations with retinal tears, which led to retinal detachment that was successfully treated by surgery. Because of these observations we can make the following suggestions: in patients presenting with unilateral vitreous hemorrhage one should first watch the spontaneous resorption of the hemorrhage. If there is delayed blood resorption in bilateral vitreous hemorrhage and at the beginning of the hemorrhage, a pars plana vitrectomy should be performed. In one patient an additional ocular symptom peripheral paresis of the facial nerve; a second patient presented with paresis of the oculomotor nerve. Both resolved spontaneously within 15 months.

Two cases of cerebral aneurysm combined with polycystic kidneys (PCKs) were presented. Case 1, a 24-year-old hypertensive male, was referred to our clinic owing to sudden onset of severe headache at August 20, 1982. Neurological findings on admission were stuporous, right vitreous hemorrhage (so-called Terson's syndrome), and hypertension. CT scans showed subarachnoid hemorrhage, and right MCA bifurcation aneurysm with marked vasospasms by cerebral angiography was revealed. Intentional delayed operation with V-P shunt was performed. He discharged with mild left upper limb paresis, and visual impairment on the right. Bilateral PCKs were confirmed by postoperative DIP and CT scan. Case 2, a 51-year-old female, who suddenly complained of severe headache, was referred to our department 3 days after subarachnoid hemorrhage. One year previously, she had been pointed out PCKs. Neurological findings on admission at February 29, 1980, were drowsy, left third cranial nerve palsy, and hypertension. Cerebral angiography showed multiple aneurysms (bilateral IC-PC & A-com). Neck clipping (1-IC-PC & A-com) and coating (r-IC-PC) were performed at the next day of admission, and V-P shunt operation was followed about 8 weeks after first operation. About 2 weeks after discharge, she suddenly became loss of consciousness and expired. Autopsy revealed intracerebral hemorrhage in left basal ganglia and thalamus. Both kidneys were PCKs of Potter type 3 and cysts of the liver were also noted. In young hypertensive patients with cerebral aneurysms, it should be in mind whether PCKs may be combined or not, and cerebral angiography in PCKs were reasonable to find out harbored cerebral aneurysm.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

On routine examination, a 61-year-old man was found to have a deep peripapillary hemorrhage surrounding his left optic nerve head. Further examination revealed a left sixth nerve paresis, a subtle right homonymous quadrantanopia, and jerky pursuit to the left. The diagnostic work-up was delayed by the patient because of business commitments. He returned confused and obtunded. Neuro-imaging showed a large frontal mass, which turned out to be an anaplastic astrocytoma. Diagnosis of the lesion had been obscured by three false localizing signs. Discussion deals with the definition of Terson's syndrome and the occurrence of peripapillary hemorrhages. Other causes of peripapillary hemorrhages are illustrated.
