Although peripapillary staphyloma and morning glory disc anomaly are rarely encountered, accurate differential diagnosis based on disc appearance is essential because of their similar presentations [1]. However, few cases of contractile peripapillary staphyloma and contractile morning glory disc anomaly have been reported. This study describes a rare case of contractile peripapillary staphyloma that phasically mimicked a morning glory disc anomaly.
