Q

How can you differentiate anatomic from blepharospasm entropion?

A

Use a topical anesthetic like proparacaine, if entropion resolves it was due to ocular pain causing blepharospasm

Q

What is the treatment protocol for patients presenting with lagophthalmos?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • ID underlying cause (breed vs CN dysfunction vs buphthalmos vs exopthalmos)
  • Temporary correction vs lubrication and temporary tarsorrhaphy
  • Permanent correction via permanent tarsorrhaphy or canthoplasty
22
Q

How can abnormalities of eyelid innervation be detected?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Abnormal palpebral reflex (CN V, CN VII)
  • Ptosis (drooping of upper eyelid)
  • +/- lip drooping
23
Q

What medication can be applied topically to diagnose Horners syndrome?

Study These Flashcards
A

Phenylephrine

If affected pupil dilates in 20 mins = post ganglionic

If affected pupil dilates in 30-40 mins = pre ganglionic `

24
Q

What treatment options are available for permanent correction of eyelid agenesis?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Cryoepilation
  • Collagen injection
  • Reconstruction blepharoplasty (skin grafts, lip to lid transposition, oral mucosal graft)
25
What is trichiasis?
Hairs growing from a normal location that are touching the conjunctiva/corneal surface Ex: Excessive facial folds causing hair of folds to touch the eye
26
What options are available for conservative and aggressive treatment of trichiasis?
Conservative - frequent lubrication Aggressive - **Facial fold resection, medial canthoplasty**
27
What is distichia?
**Cilia that emerges from the meibomian glands** (meibomian gland is part of the tarsus, which is underneath where normal eyelashes should be)
28
What options are available for treatment of distichia?
**1. Cryotherapy / Cryoepilation** (freeze the abnormal eyelash, apply probe to palpebral conjunctiva) **Caution: eyelid necrosis and depigmentation **2. Thermal cautery** (burns the abnormal eyelash) ** Caution: charred material in eye causing further irritation **only requires tx if causing corneal or conjunctival dz**
29
What is ectopic cilia?
Eyelashes **protruding through palpebral conjunctiva** (inner mucosa of eyelids, touching the eyeball)
30
How do patients with ectopic cilia present?
- Severe pain and corneal disease - CS wax and wane due to hair life cycle - Ulceration - Keratitis (inflammation of the cornea)
31
What options are available for treatment of ectopic cilia?
Surgical excision with **cryotherapy** (isolate hair follicle and evert eyelid, excise hair follicle and freeze)
32
_________ is inflammation of the eyelid
Blepharitis
33
List inflammatory eyelid disorders
1. Chalazion 2. Hordeolum (Stye) 3. Blepharitis (bacterial, fungal, parasitic, immune mediated)
34
What is chalazion?
Enlargement of the meibomian gland due to blockage of its duct
35
How is chalazion treated?
1. Warm compress 2. Surgical incision and drainage 3. Topical Abx with steroids
36
What is Hordeolum?
Purulent bacterial infection of the meibomian gland (Staph aureus most common)
37
What clinical signs can be seen in patients with hordeolum?
- erythema and swelling of the lids - pruritis - painful - chemosis - conjunctivitis (Hordeolum - purulent bacT infection of the meibomian gland)
38
What is the treatment protocol for bacterial blepharitis?
1. Systemic Abx for 3-4 weeks 2. Topical Abx + steroid ointment 3. Warm compress (Amoxiclav, doxycycline, cephalosporin)
39
What is a parasitic cause of blepharitis?
Demodex
40
What are immune mediated causes of blepharitis?
- Pemphigus diseases - Medial canthal ulcerative blepharitis
41
What can occur if cherry eye is left untreated?
- Chronic conjunctivitis - KCS (dry eye) **3rd eyelid contributes to 35-45% of the the aqueous tear film
42
When is complete excision of the 3rd eyelid an appropriate treatment option?
Only indicated if neoplasia **never indicated for cherry eye**
43
What treatment options are available for patients with prolapse of the 3rd eyelid?
**1. Morgan pocket technique 2. Orbital tacking**
44
A ________ shaped incision should be made in cases of eyelid tumor removal
House
45
Which of the following is a surgical treatment option for trichiasis? A. Lateral canthoplasty B. Medial canthoplasty C. Cryotherapy D. Orbital tacking
B. Medial canthoplasty
46
Which of the following is a surgical treatment option for prolapse of the 3rd eyelid? A. Lateral canthoplasty B. Medial canthoplasty C. Cryotherapy D. Orbital tacking
D. Orbital tacking (also Morgan pocket technique)
47
Which of the following is a surgical treatment option for ectropion? A. Lateral canthoplasty B. Medial canthoplasty C. Cryotherapy D. Orbital tacking
A. Lateral canthoplasty (also can do V to Y plasty)
48
Which eyelid condition can be treated surgically using a V to Y plasty?
Ectropion
49
Which of the following is a surgical treatment option for entropion? A. Hotz Celsus B. Medial canthoplasty C. Cryotherapy D. Orbital tacking
A. Hotz Celsus (+ lateral canthoplasty) (taking out a piece of skin underneath the eye and then suturing it back together)
50
A lip-to-lid transposition can be a surgical treatment option for which of the following eyelid disorders?
Eyelid agenesis
51
Which eyelid disorder should be reconsidered at 8-12 months, once a dog grows into their face?
Entropion
