Description |
Peripapillary subretinal hemorrhage (PSH) has been described as a benign condition occurring in patients with myopia and tilted, dysplastic discs. Recognizing these hemorrhages is important as they are not always associated with drusen, ischemic optic neuropathy (ION), or peripapillary subretinal neovascular membranes, and do not require further work-up as they resolve spontaneously with no visual deficit. Although their etiology is unknown, it has been shown that patients with PSH have smaller optic discs and more nerve fiber crowding than age-matched controls. Here, we examine five cases of PSH studied with ocular coherence tomography (OCT) to better understand the anatomy of the optic disc in relation to the hemorrhage. |
