朝顔症候群

Morning glory syndrome

　朝顔症候群23例25眼について電気生理学的検討を含めて臨床的検討を行った。黄斑部を認めるか否かで視力は0.1を境に大きく異なり，視力不良群は良好群に比べて血管異常，種々の綱膜脈絡膜異常を多くともない，ERG, EOG, VEPも不良であった。本疾患の視力不良には黄斑部を含む広範な網膜脈絡膜異常が強く関与していると思われた。

We evaluated clinical and electrophysiological features of morning glory syndrome in 25 eyes of 23 eases observed by us during a 10-year-period ending 1983. The ages ranged from 8 months to 36 years. Visual acuity measurement was possible in 23 eyes. There were 15 eyes with poor vision of less than 0.1, while 8 eyes manifested visual acuity of 0.1 or more.

Eyes with poor vision showed macular abnor-malities.
