³M.D., Izmir Military Hospital, Cardiology Clinic, Izmir/TURKEY To assess the clinical importance of optical coherence tomography (OCT) in morning glory syndrome (MGS). Two eyes of two patients who diagnosed of MGS between May 2013 and June 2014 were evaluated retrospectively. After the complete ophthalmological and systemic examination of the patients, horizontal and vertical B mod OCT images were obtained. In the systemic examination, bicuspid aortic valve and cardiac arrhythmia were detected in the first case. No systemic disease were detected in the second case. Visual acuity was measured ≤0.1 in two affected eyes. OCT images of peripapiller and macular area revealed enlargement of optic disc, neurosensorial retinal detachment with schisis-like cavity of inner retina in all eyes. Early detection and long-term follow-up of MGS is crucial to reduce the morbidity of ocular and systemic complications. OCT may usefull tool for diagnosis and follow-up of ocular complications.
