Presentation
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]

Crying
The child seems to ignore people when they approach her on the left side, and she was previously more likely to cry when her car seat was positioned behind the driver. [aao.org]
Her mother gave a positive history of delay in crying after delivery which may suggest birth asphyxia. There was also a history of neonatal jaundice which was managed with phototherapy on an outpatient basis in the delivery hospital. [njcponline.com]

Purpura
One month before admission to our clinic, she was hospitalized for one week due to immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) and her treatment was stopped in the follow up. Her complete blood count was within normal limits. [dusunenadamdergisi.org]

Workup
[…] 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]
Her mother was a housewife, with no history of any major illness during the pregnancy and antenatal workup was unremarkable. Physical examination was unremarkable with normal development for her age. [hkmj.org]

Treatment
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]
Coverage includes major updates on genetics of diseases, new diagnostic techniques, and the newest treatment options. [books.google.de]
[…] and prognosis As there is no definitive treatment for morning glory disc anomaly, management should focus on optimization of visual acuity and prevention of amblyopia 2. [radiopaedia.org]
The treatment is symptomatic and is also directed towards preventing and treating the complications, which may arise. [dovemed.com]
Prognosis
Treatment and follow-up The visual prognosis in individuals with morning glory disc anomaly is poor. [aao.org]
There is also no cure for this eye disorder The treatment focusses mainly on decreasing the burden of reduced vision, using various interventions The prognosis of Morning Glory Syndrome depends upon the severity of the symptoms; which varies from one [dovemed.com]

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
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]

Differential diagnosis The etiology of morning glory disc anomaly is poorly understood. There are some similarities to optic disc coloboma with interference in the closure of the posterior aspect of the fetal fissure. [aao.org]

Epidemiology
Summary Epidemiology The overall prevalence of MGDA is unknown, but it is estimated at 1/38,500 among subjects between 2 and 19 years old in Sweden. More than 100 cases have been reported in the medical literature. [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]

Pathophysiology
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]
