[Clinically isolated Morning glory syndrome].
The Morning glory syndrome is an uncommon congenital optic disk anomaly. It is characterized by a funnel-shaped and enlarged dysplasic optic disk with white tissue, and retinal vessels arising from the periphery of the disk and running an abnormally straight course over the peripapillary retina. We report here the case of a 7-year-old girl with a delayed diagnosis of Morning glory syndrome discovered at a regular examination that showed amblyopia. The optic disk anomaly was isolated. The search for other associated morphological and/or functional abnormalities is mandatory (retinal and/or cerebral malformation, frontonasal dysplasia, endocrine irregularities, neurofibromatosis type 2). Periodic ophthalmological examinations are recommended due to the frequency of retinal detachment.
