Optic Nerve Abnormalities in Morning Glory Disc Anomaly: An MRI Study
Conclusion:
In patients with MGDA, optic nerve and chiasm abnormalities are the rule, with most often a unique pattern of irregular optic nerve thickness—hypertrophy and hypoplasia—from the orbit to the chiasm. Such pattern should be recognized and points to a developmental abnormality, rather than an optic nerve glioma.
