This study compared the characteristics of posterior vitreous detachment (PVD)-related and glaucomatous optic disc hemorrhage (DH). Fundus photographs of eyes with PVD-related DH (PVD group) and glaucomatous DH (glaucoma group) were reviewed. The shape, type, layer, location (clock-hour sector), and DH/disc area (DH/DA) ratio of DH were investigated. In the PVD group, DH presented as a flame (60.9%), splinter (34.8%), and dot or blot (4.3%) shape. However, most of the glaucomatous DH revealed a splinter shape (92.3%), followed by a flame shape (7.7%, p < 0.001). In the PVD group, the most common type of DH was cup margin type (52.2%), whereas, in the glaucoma group it was disc rim type (53.8%, p = 0.003). Both PVD-related and glaucomatous DH were most commonly observed in the 7 o'clock sector. In the PVD group, DH was also found in the 2 and 5 o'clock sectors (p = 0.010). Mean DH/DA ratio in PVD group (0.15 ± 0.19) was greater than in glaucoma group (0.04 ± 0.04, p < 0.001). PVD-related DH showed a higher frequency of flame shape, cup margin type, nasal location, and greater area compared to the glaucomatous DH.
