Terson's syndrome (TS) is a vitreous hemorrhage that develops in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) most frequently due to ruptured aneurysm. The reported incidence of TS has varied between 1.4 and 16.7%. Of 36 consecutive SAH patients that we treated, TS was diagnosed in 12 patients (33%). The reason that the incidence of TS in our patients series was much higher than previously reported was due to the use of a mydriatic agent to accurately diagnose TS and the examination of all 36 consecutive patients, including those with a high Hunt and Kosnik grade. In our study, the incidence of TS was significantly greater among patients with a higher grade of SAH according to a H & K classification, as noted in past reports (P-value=0.0047<0.05). Additionally, the incidence of TS was greater in patients with a higher SAH grade according to the classification proposed by Fisher (P-value=0.088>0.05). In this connection, we speculated that the mechanism of TS was the reflux of an abundance of blood drained into the orbital cavity via the Virchow-Robin space. Long-term retention of blood in the vitreous body may cause cell damage and delay the start of rehabilitation. Therefore, early treatment is preferable.

Acute calcific tendinitis of the longus colli muscle presenting as an acute neck pain is not common. The present unusual case is a thirty eight year-old man who complained of an acute onset of neck pain. Lateral aspect of a plain X-ray of the neck showed a retropharyngeal space being dilated by 13.9 mm. CT/MRI delineated a partly calcified longus colli muscle with an effusion at the retropharyngeal space. Calcific tendinitis of the longus colli can be clinically misdiagnosed as retropharyngeal abscess, traumatic sequelae or infectious spondylitis. Correct radiographical diagnosis can be made by the presence of a calcified shadow anterior to C1-2 body, prevertebral soft tissue swelling and retropharyngeal effusion. His neck pain gradually ameliorated within 1 week by an administration of NSAIDs and neck rest. We present an uncommon case of acute calcific tendinitis of the longus colli muscle diagnosed by on unusual neck pain and the pathognomonic findings on the neuroimaging.
