Abstract

  • The morning glory disc anomaly is a congenital excavation of the posterior globe that involves the optic disc.
  • Although mistakenly referred to as a variant of optic disc coloboma, the morning glory disc anomaly is truly a distinct anomaly, as evidenced by its sporadic occurrence, its lack of association with iris or retinal colobomas, and its systemic associations.
  • Here we discuss a case of 14 yrs old presented to our ophthalmology department  with left eye  morning glory disc anomaly

Keywords: Morning glory disc anomaly, Morning glory syndrome, Excavation
