Retinal Detachment in the Morning Glory Anomaly

Spontaneous resolution of retinal detachment in morning glory disk anomaly

“…Of these 11 eyes, 4 had spontaneous resolution of the subretinal fluid at an average duration of 7.5 years following the onset of retinal detachment. 3,8 In our case, complete spontaneous reattachment within 3 months was observed. The etiology of the resolution of the retinal detachment is not clear; however, speculation of a rhegmatogenous component in which a retinal hole could have been plugged by vitreous in this young patient or exudation is plausible.…”

“…2 Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment has been reported in 37% of cases and is often confined to the peripapillary retina. 3 The pathogenesis of retinal detachment in morning glory disk and the origin of subretinal fluid from vitreous cavity or subarachnoid space remains controversial. 4,5 Akiyama and colleagues postulated that the origin of the subretinal fluid was from the anomalous disk and most probably from a break on the disk margin.…”

Retinal detachment associated with optic disc colobomas and morning glory syndrome

“…Retinal detachment may develop in up to one-third of patients with morning glory syndrome and spontaneous resolution has also been observed. 12 Various theories have been advanced regarding the origin of the subretinal fluid seen in these eyesF cerebrospinal fluid, [1][2][3] or fluid from the vitreous space. [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] This issue remains a subject of controversy.…”

Congenital disorders of the optic nerve: excavations and hypoplasia

“…35 Spontaneous resolution of retinal detachment has also been reported. 36 Subretinal neovascularisation both under the peripapillary retina 37 and under the fovea 38 is a recognised complication.…”
