Communication between the subretinal space and the vitreous cavity in the morning glory syndrome
Abstract
Background: The aim was to describe a pathogenic mechanism for a rhegmatogenous retinal detachment in a 69-year-old man with the morning glory syndrome.
Methods: During vitreous surgery for a retinal detachment, a membrane was removed that covered the optic disc anomaly and produced traction on the peripapillary retina. A retinal hole was found in tissue lying within the optic cup, and the hole was sealed using a autologous plasma-thrombin mixture. Silicone oil was used for retinal tamponade.
Results: A retinal hole in tissue lying within the optic cup provided a fluid pathway between the vitreous cavity and the subretinal space. Following vitrectomy surgery, bubbles of silicone oil passed through the retinal hole into the subretinal space of the macula.
Conclusion: This case demonstrates that a retinal hole in tissue lying within the optic disc anomaly of the morning glory syndrome provides a communication for fluid between the subretinal space and the vitreous cavity, resulting in a rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. Vitreous replacement with silicone oil resulted in the migration of silicone bubbles into the subretinal space.
