Ultrasound findings in Terson's syndrome: two case reports.

Terson's syndrome describes the concurrence of intracranial hemorrhage, vitreous hemorrhage and juxtapapillary subinternal limiting membrane and retinal hemorrhage. In most cases, the retinal and vitreous hemorrhage will clear spontaneously. Vitrectomy was indicated by persistent hemorrhage in two cases.

Intravitreal triamcinolone with transpupillary therapy for subfoveal choroidal neovascularization in age related macular degeneration. A randomized controlled pilot study [ISRCTN74123635].

Background: To assess the effect of intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide (iTA) as an adjunctive treatment to transpupillary therapy (TTT) for new subfoveal choroidal neovascular membranes (CNV) in age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

Methods: This prospective randomized controlled pilot study comprised 26 patients scheduled to receive TTT, due to either absent indications for photodynamic therapy or financial issues. Patients were assigned into; Group A (n = 14) received TTT alone and Group B (n = 12) received iTA (4 mg) followed by TTT within one week.
