AB  - PURPOSE: To evaluate eyes affected by morning glory syndrome (MGS) with 
      spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD OCT) and echography. DESIGN: 
      Prospective case series. PARTICIPANTS: Nineteen patients (22 eyes) with MGS 
      observed at the Eye Department, University of Naples Federico II, Naples, Italy. 
      METHODS: All patients underwent a complete ophthalmologic examination that 
      included best-correct visual acuity, fundus photography, and echography. Nine 
      patients underwent SD OCT and high-frequency B-scan echography (20 MHz). MAIN 
      OUTCOME MEASURES: Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography and echographic 
      findings in MGS. RESULTS: Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography revealed 
      retinal detachment in the conus area of 5 eyes: 4 with noncontractile MGS (NCMGS) 
      and 1 with contractile MGS (CMGS). There was evidence of a retinal break in only 
      2 cases. All 5 eyes had an abnormal communication between the subarachnoid space 
      and the subretinal space. Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography did not 
      reveal differences between CMGS and NCMGS. Echographic examination did not reveal 
      any anatomic abnormalities of the optic nerve or orbit. CONCLUSIONS: 
      Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography provides more information than 
      echography about the posterior pole, whereas echographic examination is the only 
      technique that can confirm the anatomic integrity of the optic nerve in the 
      orbital wall. Retinal detachment in MGS generally is ascribed to abnormal 
      communication between the subretinal and subarachnoid or vitreous compartments. 
      These data suggest that myopialike retinal detachment without a retinal break may 
      result from tissue stretching around the peripapillary conus.
