Abstract:
The authors experienoed a case of morning glory syndrome which is an unusual congenital anomaly of optic nerve. The "morning glory" disc of our case was unilaterally enlarged optic disc with a funnel-shaped excavation and an elevated peripapillary tissue annulus. The retinal vessels were straiht andd narrow, and their origins may be obscured by a central mass of whitish tissue overlying the optic disc. Also slit-lamp examination revealed a posterior capsular lens opacity consistent with a Mittendorf's dot. So, we report this case with the review of the literatures.
