Morning Glory Syndrome: A Comprehensive Overview of Clinical Features, Diagnosis, and Management

Morning Glory Syndrome (MGS) is a rare congenital optic disc anomaly, first described by Pedler in 1961 and later widely recognised by Kindler in 1970. The condition is named for the resemblance of the optic disc to the trumpet-shaped morning glory flower. MGS is characterised by a funnel-shaped optic disc with a central glial mass and surrounding retinal pigmentary changes. It is typically unilateral and can lead to variable visual impairment, ranging from normal acuity to legal blindness.
