Q

What is a potential complication of surgical removal of the gland

A

gland produces 1/3 of aqueous tears so removal would predispose the patient to dry eye

Q

Know the definition and potential sequela of corneal dermoid

A
  • presence of haired skin i the corneal epithelium

- clinical significance depends on the degree of corneal irritation caused by hair

Q

Epithelial/stromal necrosis

Study These Flashcards
A
  • response to more severe external injury (dessication [KCS=dry eye], mechanical injury, chemicals, infection)
  • corneal ulceration secondary to edema
20
Q

Wound healing/repair

  • epithelium
  • stroma
Study These Flashcards
A
  • sliding of cells followed by mitosis

- repaired stroma/collagen typically not transparent (granulation tissue)

21
Q

What is feline corneal sequestrum

Study These Flashcards
A
  • increased superficial stromal necrosis compared to normal corneal epithelial injury
  • accumulation of brown pigment from tear film (porphyrins) into corneal stroma
22
Q

What is the typical morphological feature of feline corneal sequestrum

Study These Flashcards
A
  • central dark brown corneal pigmentation, is pathognomonic
23
Q

What lesion is associated with pink eye

Study These Flashcards
A

corneal ulcer that progresses to suppurative keratomalacia

24
Q

What is the cause of pink eye

Study These Flashcards
A

Moraxella bovis

- is transmitted by flies, direct contact, fomites

25
What is the most common cause of feline karatitis
feline herpes virus I
26
Know the lesion, characteristic anatomic location, and proposed cause of canine pannus keratitis
- begins at lateral limbus and spreads toward central cornea, bilateral - is superficial stromal keratitis - likely immune mediated disease
27
Know the most common cause of mycotic keratitis in horses and be able to explain the associated lesions
- Aspergillus spp. as secondary infection of corneal wound | - can progress to suppurative keratomalacia and corneal perforation due to changes in Desemet's membrane (?)
28
What are the 4 lesions associated with collie eye anomoly
- choroid hypoplasia and hypopigmentation - posterior coloboma - retinal detachement - microphthalmia
29
Hypopyon
pus in anterior chamber
30
Anterior uveitis (iridocyclitis)
inflammation of the iris and ciliary body
31
Posterior uveitis
inflammation of choroid
32
Chorioretinitis
inflammation of the choroid and retina
33
Panuveitis
inflammation of all 3 components of the uvea
34
Endophthalmitis
inflammation of uvea, retina, and ocular cavities (anterior/posterior chambers, vitreous)
35
Panophthalmia
inflammation of the entire globe, including cornea and sclera
36
Phacolytic uveitis
- leakage of lens protein through the lens capsule - highly antigenic - occurs secondary to cataracts
37
Phacoclastic uveitis
- release of lens protein through ruptured lens capsule --> traumatic rupture of lens capsule - rapidly progressing diabetic cataracts
38
What is the most common cause of mycotic uveitis - in dogs - in cats
- blastomycosis (Blastomyces dermatitidis) | - cryptococcosis (Cryptococcus neoformans)
39
What is the typical lesion of the eye associated with mycotic uveitis
pyogranulomatous endophthalmitis (exudate accumulates in choroid and subretinal space)
40
Know the lesions of uveodermatologic syndrome and the predisposed breeds
- bilateral granulomatous uveitis, depigmentation of facial skin - akitas, siberian huskies, samoyeds
41
What is the cause of feline infectious peritonitis
mutated enteric coronavirus
42
What is the lesion of FIP in the eye
immune-mediated anterior uveitis
43
What are the 3 proposed causes of equine recurrent uveitis (moon blindness)
- idiopathic - immune mediated reaction against Leptospira antigen - Onchocerca cervicalis
44
Name 2 uveal neoplasms of the dog, which is the most common
- uveal melanocytoma (most common) | - iridociliary adenoma
45
Name 2 uveal neoplasms of the cat, which is the most common
- primary ocular sarcoma (only in cats) | - diffuse iris melanoma (most common)
46
Name 2 neoplasms of the eyelid of dogs, which is the most common
- Meibomian adenoma (most common) | - melanocytoma
47
What is the most common conjunctival neoplasm in horses and cattle
squamous cell carcinoma
