CT diagnosis of morning glory syndrome (report of 7 cases)

Objective: To study the CT findings and diagnostic role in morning glory syndrome (MGS). Methods: CT study of 7 patients with MGS diagnosed by clinical information was reviewed retrospectively. Results: CT findings included: (1) the crater-like-excavation of the disc in 3 patients; (2) the funnel-shaped widening of the retrobulbar optic nerve, a pear-shaped deformity of the globe in 2 patients; (3) two patients with cystic expansion of the optic nerve, which was of water density and was continuous with the vitreous humor. Conclusion: The CT findings of MGS were particularly striking. CT is the imaging method of choice in the diagnosis of this disorder
