Abstract

Introduction: We describe the clinical findings of morning glory optic disc anomaly, in a female patient. Despite the low prevalence of this optic disc malformation and although it has no specific treatment, we report this case, for timely diagnosis is important for associated vascular and central nervous system abnormalities may eventually be treated. Objective: to report this case of morning glory optic disc anomaly in a patient seen at Hospital de San José, Bogotá. Study design: case report. Methods: A search in the literature on the incidence, ophthalmological manifestations, clinical presentation and concomitant pathologies of morning glory optic disc anomaly, was conducted. Case report: female patient that consulted for decreased visual acuity in the right eye. Right eye fundus examination revealed a funnel-shaped excavation, dysplastic optic disc and glial tissue covering the peripapillary region circumferentially (360°), chorioretinal pigmentary changes, and increased number of retinal vessels emerging from the optical disc in a radial pattern.
