Abstract
The present material comprises 51 patients with at least one disc haemorrhage in at least one eye. A total of 127 hh were observed. The probability of finding a disc h increases with the number of examinations. The hypothesis that hh occur in all cases of glaucomatous destruction of the papillary tissue cannot be rejected, though not proven. H. seems to be connected with progression of field defects, though its effects are not immediately recognized. H. is detectable very early in the glaucomatous process; the denotation ‘forerunner’ is most likely justified. Hh. are highly specific for a glaucomatous process, but it has not been possible to connect h. with some clearly delimited group of glaucoma.Keywords
