Thin-section 3D Steady-State MRI in Optic Nerve Coloboma

ABSTRACT

Optic nerve colobomas are congenital defects in the posterior globe of eye with typical funduscopic appearances. We report a two-year-old child suspected of morning glory disc anomaly who underwent thin-section 3D steady-state magnetic resonance imaging which showed characteristic findings of a tiny defect and discontinuity in the optic nerve head.
