Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics and the related factors of peripapillary subretinal hemorrhage (PPSRH). Methods The clinical documents of fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) of 23 patients (23 eyes) with PPSRH were retrospectively analyzed. Results All of the 23 eyes was myopes with middle or slight degree, and the corrected visual acuity was≥1.0. Among the 23 patients, 9 eyes were PPSRH, 13 eyes were PPSRH with disc hemorrhage, and 1 eye was PPSRH with disc and vitreous hemorrhage. All of the PPSRH was localed at the nasal edge of optic disc. Through FFA the hemorrhage showed blocked fluorescence and the optic disc showed nodular hyperfluorescence at the late phase, and nothing abnormal in the unaffected eyes. Conclusion PPSRH might be related to buried optic disc drusen. (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis, 2002, 18: 96-97)
