Q

When do you categorize a cataract as “Hypermature”?

A

Q

If you’re loosing retinal tissue, will the tapetum become more reflective or less reflective?

A

MORE REFLECTIVE, because the retina is usually covering. This is why the owner will see flashes more

What are the 2 main mechanisms as to why p can have detached retina?
Cells accumulating under retina (WBC,RBC, Neoplasia cells) OR Traction Inflammation in back of eye. Usually between cilliary bodies.
30
Hypertension p and p who are a HBC are at risk for...
Retinal detachment (hemorrhage)
31
Whenever you have retinal detachment, either exudative or tractional, what is it usually due to?
INFLAMMATION! | Hemorrhage and Neoplasia are the exceptions
32
What is it called when there are fibrious adhesions between ciliary bodies?
Cyclitic Membrane
33
What's the consequence of retinal detachment?
Retinal Degeneration and Atrophy because they don't have nutrients from neighboring cells
34
Retinal pigmented epithelium are important for...
nourishing the photoreceptor cells. If retina separates, degen and atrophy of retina
35
Golden retriever - glaucoma
pic
36
How does glaucoma happen?
Increased IOP, occurs when theres too much aqueous humor. ITS BAD because 2ndary lesions will occur.
37
What lesions might a glaucomic eye have?
- Opacity - Retinal degen and atrophy - Cataracts
38
How is aqueous humor produced?
By the ciliary body and flows through posterior chamber through the pupil into the anterior chamber to the filtration angle where the iris meets the cornea
39
When there is a malformation of the filtration angle, it is congenital. What is this called?
Goniodysgenesis
40
Goniodysgenesis is a detectable malformation of the trabecular meshwork that will result in...
Primary Gluacoma
41
T/F: | In dogs, Goniodysgenesis is inherited and common
TRUE
42
How does spontaneous lens luxation lead to glaucoma?
It will block the filtration angle and lead to glaucoma if the obstruction isn't removed.
43
Primary Glaucoma is caused by...
a congenital malformation/developmental abnormality of the filtration angle -- not formed properly
44
Primary Glaucoma is common inherited condtion in the...
Dog
45
Matilda the cat is an example of primary or secondary Glaucoma?
Secondary--- way more common than primary in domestic animals
46
Anything that obstructs the pupil or trabecular meshwork can result in....
Secondary Glaucoma
47
Give examples of causes of Secondary Glaucoma:
Exudate, Lens Luxation, Posterior Synechia, Peripheral Anterior Synechia, or Compression of the filtration angle
48
The Iris can adhere to the lens or it can adhere to the cornea. What do we call it when it adheres to the lens? Adheres to the cornea?
Lens- Posterior Synechia Cornea- Anterior Synechia either can result in Glaucoma
49
What does the term Peripheral Anterior Synechia mean?
More severe Anterior Synechia
50
What does Buphthalmos mean?
Enlargement of the globe
51
With corneal edema- if the expansion is super quick the desimis membrane will bust apart at the seams. As a result we would see..
Striae where the desimis membrane is coming apart
52
Pressure atrophy on the retina. When this pressure is so severe and theres pressure on the optic nerve head, what can be a result of this?
Optic Disc Cupping | ** we can see histologically OR in part of a Fundic Exam
53
Is the retina is atrophic, we can get secondary...
Optic nerve atrophy
54
Glaucoma can result in a...
Cataract
55
T/F | Lens luxation can cause glaucoma, but it can also be a result of glaucoma
True, because if the globe is expanding, the zonule fibers that hold the lens in place can rupture and the lens won't move around
56
If the blood supply to the iris is impeded in a case of Glaucoma, what can be the result?
Iris Atrophy
57
What is it called when a iris looks "Moth Eaten"
Iris Atrophy
58
Ayfakent Crescent (lack of lens)
Lens is no longer in a central position, it has migrated down
59
What is the term used for "Inflammation of the Eyelid"
Blepharitis
60
What is "Chalazion"?
Granulomatous inflammation directed against meibomian gland
61
What is "Stye"?
Common name for a bacterial infection of hair follicle or meilbomian gland (usually Staph aureus)
62
What are Meibomian Glands?
Modified sebaceous glands that are at the margins of the eye lids -- they are important for providing an oil component of the tear film
63
What does the term "Chemosis" mean?
Severe conjunctival edema
64
``` Hyperemia Swelling/Edema Discharge Chemosis Pigmentation ``` Are all gross features of...
Conjunctivitis
65
T/F | Hyperemia alone does not necessarily indicate conjunctivitis
TRUE
66
Do primary infections usually cause conjunctivitis?
No, primary pathogens causing conjunctivitis is usually rare. But there are exceptions
67
What is the exception with Primary causes of conjunctivitis?
CATS! Herpesvirus 1 Chlamydophilia felis Mycoplasma felis -- can normally be there OR secondary pathogen
68
If we have a severe conjunctivitis case clinically, will we biopsy?
NOPE! Bc the cause will not be histopathological evident. All the pathologist will be able to say is its a chronic lymphocytic conjunctivitis no matter what agent started it.
69
What will present as a nodular mass between the junction of the cornea and sclera?
Nodular Granulomatous Episcleritis
70
What are some DDX for this nodular mass on the eye?
Neoplasia Nodular Granulomatous Episcleritis Abscess
71
Histologically, what would Nodular Granulomatous Episcleritis look like?
Granulomatous keroconjunctivitis
72
What could cause this granulomatous inflammation?
Bacteria or fungi OR is it Collie?!
73
What's an immune mediated condition of collies? Often Bilateral!
Nodular Granulomatous Episcleritis
74
``` Edema Epithelial Regeneration Neutrophil Mediacted Stromal lysis Neovasularization Stromal Fibrosis ```
Coreal response to injury
75
If the corneal epithelial surface isn't all eroded all the way through, what speed will it regenerate?
Very rapidly since the basement membrane is intact
76
If the corneal epithelial is eroded all the way through/deep defect -- ULCER, what speed will it regenerate?
There has to be repair of the stroma before the cells can fill the gap
77
If there is chronic/persistent injury _______ _____ may occur.
Cutaneous Metaplasia of the cornea - epithelium transform-- like skin lacking hair follicle. it will no longer be transparent
78
What bacteria love to be opportunistic in corneal ulcers?
Pesudomonas aeuginosa
79
What primary pathogen will cause keratitis?
Moraxella bovis -- causing Infectious Keratoconjunctivitis of cattle
