Q
A
Most PCG cases are?
Sporadic; familial in 10–40% with autosomal recessive inheritance and variable penetrance.
Classic triad of PCG symptoms?
Epiphora, photophobia, blepharospasm (but may be absent).
Most common presenting signs in PCG?
Cloudy cornea and buphthalmos (found in over 40%).
How does glaucomatous cupping differ in PCG vs adult?
PCG: circumferential enlargement; Adult: rim thinning at inferior/superior poles.
Effect of ketamine on IOP?
Increases IOP by increasing extraocular muscle tone.
GA agents that minimally affect IOP?
Chloral hydrate (least effect), followed by ketamine.
Acute concomitant esotropia red flags?
Nystagmus or inability to restore binocularity → neurological investigation.
Non-neuro causes of acute esotropia?
Past strabismus, occlusion therapy, monocular visual loss, myopia.
Optical management for acute esotropia?
Cycloplegic refraction and glasses.
Prism use in acute esotropia?
Base out prisms in the ipsilateral eye.
Botox use in acute esotropia?
Injected into ipsilateral medial rectus.
Surgery indication in esotropia?
Stable large deviations unsuitable for spontaneous fusion.
Causes of monocular elevation deficiency (MED)?
SR palsy, IR restriction, or supranuclear lesion.
FDT restrictive in MED suggests?
IR restriction → do IR recession.
FDT non-restrictive in MED suggests?
SR paresis/supranuclear → Knapp procedure.
Clinical features of MED?
No upgaze in all positions, hypotropia, ptosis/pseudoptosis, chin-up posture.
Surgical goals in MED?
Improve eye position in primary gaze and increase binocular field.
TED most commonly affects which EOMs?
IR and medial rectus.
TED strabismus presentation?
Hypotropia and/or esotropia.
TED orbital pain seen in?
30% of patients (dull, deep orbital pain).
TED EOM restriction affects?
40% of patients.
TED strabismus surgery indications?
Intractable diplopia, abnormal head posture, cosmetic concerns.
Order of surgery in TED?
Orbital decompression → strabismus → lid surgery.
