ABSTRACT

We present an 18-month-old girl with strabismus and a variable esotropia of the left eye. Fixation of the affected eye was intermittent with a relative afferent pupillary defect. A fundus photography of the left eye displayed a combination of features of both morning glory disc anomaly and peripapillary staphyloma. A B-scan ultrasonography examination of the left eye showed a conical excavation of the posterior pole. Cycloplegic refraction measurements showed a large amount of anisometropia. Correction with glasses and part-time occlusion was prescribed and a strict follow-up routine was advised. No other systemic associations with the disease have been discovered so far in our patient. We support the theory that morning glory disc anomaly and peripapillary staphyloma may represent two different morphologies in the spectrum of the same disease.
