Sutedja T, Sahoo B, Hill R. Seeing through the glory: A rare presentation of morning glory disc anomaly. J Case Rep Images Opthalmol 2024;6(2):13–17.ABSTRACT
Morning glory disc anomaly (MGDA) is a rare form of optic disc dysplasia, characterized by an excavated optic disc reminiscent of the tropical morning glory flower. Its prevalence is reported at 2.6 per 100,000 individuals. Typically observed unilaterally and manifesting in childhood, MGDA commonly presents with symptoms such as poor visual acuity, strabismus, or leukocoria.
We present a rare case of bilateral MGDA in a 40-year-old Caucasian female exhibiting preserved visual acuity despite notable retinal folds, and a possible correlation with the posterior variety of persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous (PHPV).
Keywords: Excavated disc, Morning glory disc anomaly, Morning glory syndrome, Persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous
