ABSTRACT

In 1970, Kindier described the morning glory syndrome. This syndrome is a congenital abnormality of the optic nerve with unilateral presence and very low incidence. It is characterized by an enlarged optical disc, deep excavation, presence of traces of radial glia, and arrangement of retinal vascularization. This report describes the fundoscopic image in a patient with morning glory syndrome.
