| Description |
The morning glory disc anomaly is a congenital, funnelshaped excavation of the posterior fundus that incorporates the optic disc. It was so-named by Kindler because of its resemblance to the morning glory flower. Ophthalmoscopically, the disc is markedly enlarged, orange or pink in color, and may appear to be recessed or elevated centrally within the confines of a funnel-shaped peripapillary excavation. A wide annulus of chorioretinal pigmentary disturbance surrounds the disc within the excavation. |
