Abstract

Morning glory syndrome is a birth defect that affects the optic nerve of the eye. The morning glory syndrome (MGS) or morning glory disc anomaly was named by Kindler in 1970 because of its resemblance to the morning glory flower. Morning glory syndrome can be associated with midline cranial defects and abnormal carotid circulation. We report the case of a 10-year-old adolescent, who was brought by his parents for a profound bilateral visual acuity decrease since birth. Ophthalmic examination revealed bilateral morning glory syndrome.
