Review of clinical features and treatment of congenital cavitary optic disc anomalies

doi:10.3969/j.issn.1674-8115.2022.02.015

Abstract

Abstract:

Congenital cavitary optic disc anomalies (CCODA) are a group of congenital developmental abnormalities of the eye, which can cause visual impairment. CCODA mainly include morning glory syndrome (MGS), optic nerve coloboma (ONC), optic disc pit (ODP), and peripapillary staphyloma (PS). Clinical features of these abnormalities are similar, and thus accurate differential diagnosis is easily neglected. CCODA can be associated with ametropia, maculopathy and retinal detachment, leading to severer damage to visual function. This paper reviews the latest progresses in the demographic features, pathogenesis, ocular features, systemic abnormalities, differential diagnosis and treatment of CCODA.

Key words: congenital cavitary optic disc anomalies, morning glory syndrome, optic nerve coloboma, differential diagnosis, treatment
