Coexistent morning glory syndrome and persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous
Figure 1: (a,b) Slit lamp photo showing a posterior polar cataract with posterior cord like extension clearly visualised in retro illumination. (c) Fundus picture showing the cord like structure in the anterior vitreous phase and (d) Showing the morning glory discA 9-year-old female presented with defective vision in the right eye since childhood. Visual acuity was counting fingers at 2 m. Anterior segment examination revealed cataractous changes in the posterior capsule [Fig. 1a] with a thin cord-like structure extending to the posterior pole seen on retro illumination [Fig. 1b]. Fundus examination revealed further extension of the stalk through the vitreous [Fig. 1c] up to the disc. A large disc with central excavation, peripapillary pigmentation, and radially exiting blood vessels [Fig. 1d] suggestive of morning glory syndrome was seen. The rest of the fundus was normal.
