Abstract:
PURPOSE: To report two cases of intrapapillary hemorrhage with adjacent peripapillary subretinal hemorrhage (IHAPSH). METHODS: A 15-year-old boy and a 13-year-old girl who had sudden the sensation of floaters underwent ophthalmic examination including fundus examination, fundus photographs, fluorescein angiography, Goldmann visual field test, B-scan ultrasonography, and optical coherence tomography. RESULTS: Initial corrected visual acuities were 20/20 and 20/25. Intrapapillary hemorrhage with adjacent peripapillary subretinal hemorrhage was found upon fundus examination. Blocked fluorescence due to peripapillary subretinal hemorrhage was found by fluorescein angiography. Intrapapillary and peripapillary subretinal hemorrhage was spontaneously resolved without treatment in eight weeks later. CONCLUSIONS: Intrapapillary hemorrhage with adjacent peripapillary subretinal hemorrhage (IHAPSH) is a benign and self limiting disease. It is important to diagnose and differentiate IHAPSH from the other diseases.
