- A 52-year-old man who had a severe headache and SAH developed TS three weeks later, resulting in blurred vision, and required successful surgical treatment.
- This case highlights the need for increased awareness among medical professionals about TS as a potential complication of SAH, emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis and treatment for better outcomes.
