The morning glory syndrome associated with sphenoidal encephalocele

Ophthalmology. 1982 Dec;89(12):1368-73. doi: 10.1016/s0161-6420(82)34623-0.

Abstract

A 13-year-old girl was found to have a "morning glory" optic disc anomaly associated with remnants of the primitive hyaloid vasculature, midline cleft lip and palate, agenesis of the corpus callosum, and a sphenoidal encephalocele. The association of these developmental anomalies indicates that the "morning glory" optic disc anomaly may occur as part of a more extensive syndrome of midline cranioencephalic dysraphism.
