Alternate names: optic disc hemorrhage, Drance hemorrhage, splinter hemorrhage, nerve fiber layer hemorrhage, optic nerve head hemorrhage. Disc hemorrhages are splinter or flame-shaped hemorrhages oriented perpendicular to the optic disc margin (Figure 1).

Optic nerve hemorrhages are a common ophthalmic finding, and several hospital- and population-based studies have reported a prevalence between 0.2 and 1.4%. 2,8,9 This figure is higher in patients with glaucoma, giving rise to the belief that optic nerve hemorrhages are an early and specific sign of that disease. 10 However, the emphasis on ...

Optic disc hemorrhage is a common clinical feature of glaucoma, indicating active disease with likely progression and visual field loss. These small bleedings form notch-like lesions at the edge of the optic disc in the nerve fiber layer and often correlate with visual field loss.

2023年10月22日 · An optic disc hemorrhage refers to the sudden appearance of bleeding within the optic nerve head, which is the point where the optic nerve enters the eye. This condition can be an important indicator of underlying ocular and systemic health issues.

In this comprehensive study, we characterize optic disc hemorrhages in relation to glaucoma type, optic disc phenotype, IOP, VF loss, and morphological features and patterns of microbleeds. Understanding clinical characteristics in relation to hemorrhages of the optic nerve head may provide added insights into glaucomatous damage.

To characterize changes in the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and peripapillary vessel density (VD) at the site of disc hemorrhage (DH) in nonglaucomatous eyes. This retrospective cross-sectional study included nonglaucomatous eyes diagnosed with ...

2008年10月31日 · There is no obvious nerve fiber layer defect, and the hemorrhages in the retina and on the optic nerve are readily apparent. Like disc hemorrhages discovered in the context of diabetic retinopathy, disc hemorrhages may be present in patients with hypertensive retinopathy.

2018年3月1日 · ONH hemorrhages associated with PVD are commonly found with persistent vitreopapillary adhesions as evidenced on OCT. The clinical features of ONH together with OCT imaging may help to distinguish ONH associated with PVD from other hemorrhages found on or adjacent to the optic nerve.

2017年11月1日 · Optic disk hemorrhage is best known for its association with visual field loss and progression in patients with glaucoma; however, it may occur in conjunction with other ocular or systemic conditions as well as in healthy individuals. It may also be the first sign of a sight-threatening condition.

Enhanced-depth-imaging ocular coherence tomography demonstrated bilateral buried optic nerve drusen (OND) (C, left eye, white arrow). Intravenous fluorescein angiography did not show a peripapillary choroidal neovascular membrane (E). OND can rarely cause peripapillary hemorrhage affecting all retinal layers due to presumed vessel erosion by ...
