³M.D. Associate Professor, Ulucanlar Eye Education and Research Hospital, Ankara/TURKEY Morning Glory Syndrome (MGS) is a rare congenital optic disc anomaly. A 9-month-old male patient presented with strabismus at our hospital. The patient was diagnosed with high myopia, esotropia, and MGS on ophthalmic examination. The patient was also evaluated by the pediatric neurology department as MGS is believed to be associated with the systemic anomalies. Cranial magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a giant arachnoid cyst that caused life-threatening compression signs in the right temporal area. We emphasize the concurrence of these three ophthalmic pathologies and arachnoid cyst, as well as the importance of a detailed ophthalmic examination at an early age with this case. To the best of our knowledge, the present study is the first to describe coexistent MGS and giant arachnoid cyst. Keywords : Arachnoid cyst, esotropia, high myopia, morning glory syndrome
