- Involutional due to loss of muscle tone within orbicularis oculi
- paralytic
- Mechanical
- Cicatricial
- Congenital
What are optic disc drusens?
They are hyalin bodies located within the optic disc. Can be hereditary ( AD).
Gradually move anterior as pt ages.
Diagnosed with B-scan, appear hyperreflective
Common collagen vascular disorders that can cause optic disc edema
Rheumatoid arthritis
Systemic lupus erythematosus
Polyarteritis nodosa
Wegeners granulomatosis
What is Papillitis
Secondary to inflammation of the anterior optic nerve and will present with disc edema. Occurs 1/3 cases of optic neuritis.
What are signs of TRO
Unilateral optic disc edema
APD
Unilateral or bilateral proptosis, upper eyelid retraction
inferior and medial rectus effected first
Reduced color vision
Variable VA loss
Elevated IOP
Papilledema signs
Elevated optic nerve rim tissue Elevated or opaque NFL Paton's folds Hyperemia of optic disc CWS Exudates Splinter hemorrhage Absent SVP VF shows "Large Blind Spot"
IIH signs
Enlarged Blind Spot on VF
Diplopia due to CN VI palsy
Papilledema
Optic Atrophy ( late signs)
Reverse APD
Constriction of good eye during swinging flash light test when fellow eye has APD
Direct response of good eye is stronger than consensual response
In which cases of optic nerve abnormality, optic nerve appears normal
Retrobulbar Optic Neuritis.
Posterior ischemic optic neuropathy.
CN 3 palsy pathophysiology
- Lesion along the pathway of CN III
- Micro vascular infarcts from DM and hypertension.
- Trauma
- Aneurysm ( posterior communicating artery)
CN IV palsy common cause and symptoms
Trauma
Vertical Diplopia
Compensatory head tilt away from the side of the lesion
CN VI palsy cause/symptoms
Cause: Pseudotumor cerebri Horner's syndrome DM/HTN Trauma Tumor Symptoms: Head turn toward the affected side
Viral Conjunctivitis
Common cause is adenovirus. Patient highly contagious for 12-14 days Classic syndrome: 1-Acute non-specific follicular conjunctivitis 2-pharyngoconjunctival fever 3- EKC
Bacterial conjunctivitis
Signs;
Mucopurulent discharge.
Treatment:
Erythromycin ointment
Allergic conjunctivitis
Signs;
Watery, itchy , chemosis, allergic shiners.
Treatment:
Patanol
Follicles
- Blister like, more common in viral conjunctivitis.
- Avascular, white-gray nodules typically found in tarsal and fornix conjunctiva.
- Associates with Chlamydia, toxic or viral infections
Papilla
inflamed areas of elevated conj that have central vessel.
Can be small to very large ( as in GPC and VKC).
Non-specific but common in allergic or bacterial conjunctivitis.
psudomembrane
appears with severe conjunctivitis.
Blepharitis Treatment
Treatment:
warm compresses, lid scrubs, and artificial tears.
Erythromycine at bed time
Doxycycline can help by changing oil viscosity.(anti inflammatory and stops MMPs)
Chalazions
backed up lipids cause of blocked MGs
- non-infections (sterile) inflammations of the meibomian glands.
- painless and immobile
- recurrent, warrants possible malignancies ( sebaceous gland carcinoma)
Pre-septal cellulitis
Treatment:
Keflex, Augmentin
HSV infections
NO steroids..
Acyclovir, viroptic
Endophthalmitis is a.
serious infection inside the eye. Hypopon
Removal of acoustic neuroma may result in damage to the ……
Parotid gland and CN VII, causing facial paralysis on affected side
