Özet

Morning glory syndrome is a non-hereditary, usually unilateral malformation of the optic disc associated with various retinal abnormalities. We present a case of morning glory syndrome associated with a rare feature of different arteriolar circulation pattern of upper and lower halves of the optic disc. We believe that meticulous clinical and fluorescein angiographic evaluation is a must as a vast range of ocular vascular abnormalities and related complications may occur in cases with morning glory syndrome.
