| Zusammenfassung: | Morning glory disc anomaly is a rare congenital anomaly affecting the optic disc and is frequently associated with retinal detachment. This report presents a unique case of a 10-year-old boy with morning glory disc anomaly and serous retinal detachment, treated with oral acetazolamide. Remarkably, half of the retina exhibiting bullous detachment was reattached leading to full recovery of vision within a few days after starting acetazol-amide treatment. There was no recurrence after discontinuation of medication. Oral acetazolamide can be considered an alternative treatment option for retinal detachment associated with morning glory disc anomaly of non-rhegmatogenous origin.
