Extract

Morning glory disc anomaly (MGDA) is typically a unilateral congenital disorder characterized by the funnel-shaped excavation of an enlarged optic disc. Retinal vessels emanate radially beyond a central white core, and the disc itself is encircled by an elevated region of chorioretinal pigmentation. Serous and, less commonly, rhegmatogenous retinal detachment may coexist.1 Infants with MGDA often manifest strabismus or leukokoria. Morning glory disc anomaly is associated with other midline developmental or vascular malformations. We describe a patient with MGDA and concurrent ipsilateral optic nerve glioma.
