Abstract:
Objective To study the CT findings and diagnostic role in morning glory syndrome (MGS). Methods CT study of 7 patients with MGS diagnosed by clinical information was reviewed retrospectively. Results CT findings included: (1) the crater like excavation of the disc in 3 patients; (2) the funnel shaped widening of the retrobulbar optic nerve, a pear shaped deformity of the globe in 2 patients; (3) two patients with cystic expansion of the optic nerve, which was of water density and was continuous with the vitreous humor. Conclusion The CT findings of MGS were particularly striking. CT is the imaging method of choice in the diagnosis of this disorder.
