Tumor - Rhabdomyosarcoma

39
Q

the epidemiology of Tumor - Rhabdomyosarcoma

A

rare

40
Q

treatment and management for Tumor - Rhabdomyosarcoma

A

urgent consult pediatric optho and oncologist

41
Q

diagnostic studies for Tumor - Rhabdomyosarcoma

A

CT scan usually shows boney involvement, complete work up for metastases

42
Q

a pt has a fracture on one or more of the bones surrounding the eye, with a traumatic deformity of the orbital floor or medial wall due to blunt trauma

A

Blowout Fracture, Orbital

43
Q

diagnostic studies for Blowout Fracture, Orbital

A

immediate CT scan

44
Q

complications for Blowout Fracture, Orbital

A

eye muscle/nerve entrapment

45
Q

treatment for Blowout Fracture, Orbital

A

Amoxicillin- caluvulanate (augmentin) 600 mg solution for IV (after surgery 500 mg 1 tablet TID or 875, 1 tablet PO BID)
IF ALLERGIC TO PENICILLIN –>
- Azithromycin 500 mg or 1 gram IV then after surgery 250 mg PO daily
—-
tetanus booster

46
Q

work up for Blowout Fracture, Orbital

A
  • rule out ruptured eye (globe) positive Seidel’s sign*
  • examine eyelid for crepitus
  • monitor for progressive proptosis/visual changes
  • exam retina for central retinal artery occlusion
47
Q

s&s for Blowout Fracture, Orbital

A

hx of sig trauma, pain with movement, diplopia, swelling of eyelids with sneezing
enopthalmos (posterior displaced globe), point tenderness, numbness or tingling of upper lip/cheek, extra ocular movements are restricted, Positive Seidel’s sign - globe rupture anterior chamber

48
Q

f/u and Rx discussion for Blowout Fracture, Orbital

A

admitted, optho emergent consults; f/u PCP

rx may cause nausea and diarrhea

49
Q

pt was in severe pain and eyelid spasms after exposed to an irritant in their eye after cleaning the bathroom with bleach, this is indicative of?

A

chemical injury

50
Q

complications for chemical injury

A

dependent of the irritant chemical - blindness

51
Q

treatment for chemical injury to the eye?

A

copious irrigation with sterile NS

-no contacts until cleared by optho

52
Q

pt has a FB sensation, pain, redness after working in construction. You everted the eye and found a fb. How will you treat this?

A

Erythromycin opth 0.5% ointment, 1 ribbon in affected eye 4-6 times a day, continue until 48 hrs after healed, 1 tube no RF

tetanus shot prophylaxis

corneal abrasion/ulcer, if object embedded - possible globe rupture

54
Q

prognosis for FB?

A

non embedded- good recovery

embedded- varies

55
Q

a pt comes in with severe pain, decreased VA, and tear in pupil. He said he had blunt trauma, causing a laceration to the globe, how would you diagnose and treat this pt?

it inhibits platelets
