Case report reveals optic nerve anomaly presenting as reduced vision, suggesting advanced imaging aids diagnosis in MGS.
Morning Glory Syndrome (MGS) is a rare optic nerve anomaly, typically unilateral, characterized by a funnel-shaped macropapilla with neuroglial remnants at its center, surrounded by an elevated and pigmented chorioretinal ring. This condition may be associated with ocular and systemic abnormalities that can impair vision. A 14-year-old female presented to our clinic with a complaint of reduced vision in her right eye. Following a detailed ophthalmological examination and advanced imaging studies, the patient was diagnosed with Morning Glory Disc Anomaly (MGDA) in her right eye. This case highlights the importance of advanced imaging technologies in both the diagnosis and follow-up of MGS, as well as their role in the early detection of potential complications.
