چکیده
BACKGROUND This case is unique because it is the first reported case of Down syndrome with morning glory optic disc anomaly in literature. CASE PRESENTATION A 15-year-old girl with features of Down syndrome presented to the Clinic of Ophthalmology for a regular ophthalmologic examination. Her best corrected visual acuity was 20/50 in the right eye and 20/20 in the left eye. The fundus examination revealed findings compatible with unilateral morning glory optic disc anomaly in the right eye. The patient underwent a complete ophthalmologic and systemic evaluation to explore possible associated findings. CONCLUSION This case report emphasizes the importance of ophthalmic screening-examinations in Down children to rule out any vision relevant pathology.
