Congenital eye colobomas frequently present with eye anomalies and systemic signal findings. We present a case of isolated total optic disc coloboma without systemic involvement, which has been rarely reported in the literature. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The signs and symptoms of neurological disease are elusive by their very nature, presenting a confounding diagnostic challenge. [books.google.de]

Patients may be initially referred for leukocoria or strabismus and present with variable visual acuity, which depends on the extent of the optic nerve anomaly. Visual field defects and enlarged blind spots are also common 3. [radiopaedia.org]

[…] may be responsible in many affected patients. 1 Because of the high incidence of associated central nervous system anomalies and endocrinologic problems, all patients with optic nerve hypoplasia, particularly if bilateral, need a complete neurological workup [obgynkey.com]

Preoperative workup Cataract often develops at a younger age in patients with colobomatous lenses. The extent of the ocular structures affected by the coloboma should be determined preoperatively. [healio.com]

Management and treatment There is no curative treatment for the anomaly. However, associated amblyopia is usually treated by occlusion of the contralateral eye with good possibilities of some visual improvement. [orpha.net]

The treatment is symptomatic and is also directed towards preventing and treating the complications, which may arise. [dovemed.com]

Treatment and follow-up The visual prognosis in individuals with morning glory disc anomaly is poor. [aao.org]

Prognosis The visual loss is usually non-progressive but MGDA increases the risk of serous retinal detachment (30% of patients in some studies). Other reported complications include choroidal neovascularization. [orpha.net]

Etiology The exact etiology is not fully understood, but the syndrome is related to poor development of the posterior sclera and lamina cribrosa during gestation. The PAX6 gene could be linked to the anomaly. [orpha.net]

Epidemiology[1] The estimated incidence of coloboma is about 1 in 10,000 births. Coloboma is estimated to account for 3-11% of blindness in children worldwide. Aetiology[2] The eye develops in the embryo, from the optic cup and optic fissure. [patient.info]

In fact, the pathophysiology of an abnormal closure of the fetal fissure in morning glory discs can resemble similarities with optic disc coloboma [14]. [bmcophthalmol.biomedcentral.com]

Pathophysiology Pathophysiology of optic disc pits is unclear. Some hypothesize that they occur due to incomplete closure of the optic fissure resulting in a microcommunication between the subarachnoid space and the pit. [eyewiki.aao.org]
