Comment. Improvement in vision rarely occurs in patients with AION due to GCA, presumably because there has been complete occlusion of the posterior ciliary arteries causing optic nerve head infarction. Although some series have reported improvement in up to one-third of patients, there has often not been an improvement in the visual field, suggesting that the apparent recovery could be an arti...

We present the case of a 13-year-old girl with a right congenital esotropia who at the age of 6 months presented an anomaly of the optic disc and retinal vessels in the same eye. In the following year she developed Coats's disease, rubeosis iridis, and neovascular glaucoma that led to enucleation. Pathological examination confirmed the clinical diagnosis.

A 12 year old girl with the Poland syndrome and the 'morning glory' syndrome is described. The patient presented with absence of the left pectoralis major muscle, hypoplasia of the left arm, symbrachydactyly, and ipsilateral coloboma of the optic disc. This is the first report of the association of these two congenital anomalies.

We report a case of morning glory syndrome (MGS) associated with persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous (PHPV) and Peters' anomaly. A 2-day-old girl, born at term with a birth weight of 3,350 g was diagnosed with Peters' anomaly, cataract, microphthalmia, PHPV, and MGS. A right limbal lensectomy and vitrectomy with stalk cauterization was performed 8 days later. No early postoperative complic...

The clinical presentation of optic nerve anomalies associated with renal hypodysplasia should alert the clinician to the possibility that a patient may have renal coloboma syndrome, a condition also known as papillorenal syndrome (OMIM#120330). The optic nerve findings could be described as a ‘dysplasia’, characterized by absent central vessels with the emergence of vessels from the periphery o...

INTRODUCTION Morning glory syndrome (MGS) is a rare congenital optic disc anomaly, first reported in 1970. MGS is a nonprogressive and untreatable condition, which usually occurs as an isolated ocular anomaly, and can be associated with the increased incidence of nonrhegmatogenous retinal detachment, and also with strabismus, afferent pupillary defect, visual field defects, presence of hyaloids...
