Optic disc hemorrhage occurs in all age groups from neonates to the elderly . Optic disc 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 otherwise healthy individuals. It may also be the first sign of a sight-threatening condition. Variations in the shape, location, and size of the optic disc hemorrhage, as well as associated ocular and systemic signs or symptoms, may help determine the underlying pathology. We address the epidemiology, demographics, pathophysiology, clinical presentations and implications, differential diagnoses, and management of eyes with optic disc hemorrhage in diseased and healthy subjects.
