Morning Glory Sign: A Particular MR Finding in Progressive Supranuclear Palsy Magn Reson Med Sci 3:125-132, Adachi, M., et al, 2004 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract The morning glory sign was detected in four of the five patients with PSP and in one (striatonigral degeneration; SND) of the 14 patients with MSA. All morning glory sign patients had vertical supranuclear gaze-palsy, as did the one PSP patient without the morning glory sign. Vertical supranuclear gaze-palsy was seen in no other patients (23 patients with Parkinson�s disease and 13 patients with MSA) who lacked the morning glory sign. Morphologically, the morning glory sign is believed to be related to vertical supranuclear gaze-palsy. This sign should be considered a useful clue when diagnosing PSP.
