Retinal hemorrhages occur when blood leaks from retinal veins or capillaries into the surrounding retinal tissue.
Retinal hemorrhages are usually diagnosed by ophthalmologists, but they may be seen by ER, ICU, or hospitalist physicians. A head CT revealed an acute right subduralThey are occasionally seen on MR SWI imaging.
TERMINOLOGY
Retinal hemorrhages that are associated with intracranial hemorrhage, usually subarachnoid hemorrhage, are called 'Terson Syndrome', as well as a chronic bilateral extra axial fluid collectiondescribed by Terson in 1912. His MR confirmed the acute subduralAnother common term used in fundus hemorrhage and chronic subdural hygroma, the study also demonstrated a right.
EPIDEMIOLOGY
The only well-known prevalence of retinal hemorrhage comes from neonatal studies, where, in a recent study, 20% of full term newborns were found to have retinal hemorrhages.
