Abstract
Purpose:Thepurposeofthisstudyistoreportauniquecaseofmorning glorysyndrome.Methods: This study included ophthalmologic examination, opticalcoherencetomography and areviewoftherelevantliterature.Result: A 7-year-old girl with a history of morning glory syndromewas periodicallyexamined in ourclinic for5 years. Suddenly,shepresentedwiththecomplaintofdecreasedvision.Examinationsrevealed macular detachment. The visual field of the affected eye wassignificantly narrowed. OCT also revealed the presence of a fibrouscord in the centreof the optic nerve, which protruded into the vitreousbody.Discussion:Morningglorysyndromeis anuncommoncongenitaldisordercharacterizedbyawidelyenlargedpapillathatispink-orangeincolour,witha small glial tuft in thecentre. The retinalvessels are arranged radially in relation to the papilla. A pigmentedring surrounds the excavation. The incidence is not well known.
