Axial fat-saturated T2WI of a patient with morning glory syndrome demonstrates a funnel-shaped morphologic pattern of the right optic disc with the elevation of the adjacent retinal surface.
T1 C+ sequence shows the presence of abnormal tissue associated with the right distal intraorbital segment of the ipsilateral optic nerve and discontinuity of the uveoscleral coat at the optic nerve insertion.
Coronal T2 FatSat and T1 C+ images show the persistence of craniopharyngeal canal and demonstrate hypoplasia of the contralateral (left) optic chiasm, which could result from retrograde axonal degeneration.
