23
Q

When you are performing a canthotomy, what are you cutting?

Study These Flashcards
A

The pretarsal orbicularis tendon (this is where superior and inferior pretarsal obicularis join)

24
Q

The orbital septum originates at the arcus marginalis. Where does it insert? (Not that it is a muscle)

Study These Flashcards
A

Superiorly it fuses 2-5mm above the superior tarsal border and inferiorly it fuses at the lower border of the inferior tarsus

25
What are the protractors of the eyes?
Orbicularis oculi
26
What are the retractors of the eye?
1. Upper eye lid: levator and muller's2. Lower eye lid: capsulopalpebral fascia and inferior tarsal muscle
27
The levator muscular portion is approximately 40mm long. How long is the apeuronotic portion? What is the ligament that traverses horizontally at the ligament/muscle junction?
14-20mm; Whitnall's ligament
28
What is the analogous structure to Whitnall ligament in the lower eyelid?
Lockwood ligament. These ligaments act as structural support
29
Muller muscle originates how far from the superior tarsal border?
12-14mm on the undersurface of the levator
30
What is the vertical height of the superior tarsus? inferior tarsus?
10-12mm; 4mm
31

#NAME?
34
Congenital ectropion is usually caused by what 3 conditions?
1. Blepharophimosis syndrome2. Down syndrome3. Ichthyiosis
35
Coloboma of the medial upper eyelid is usually associated with systemic condition or isolated? Lower eyelid?
isolated (goldenhar however is associated with upper eyelid); associated with systemic syndrome
36
What location is sebaceous cell carcinoma more likely to occur?
Upper eyelid (more meibomian gland there)
37
What is eyelid imbrication syndrome?
When the upper eyelid is lax (with normal tarsus) and overrides the lower eyelid when sleeping causing chronic conjunctivitis
38
Trichoepithelioma
Remember PAPULE because it has a P in the name. Flat, flesh colored papule.
39
Trichofolliculoma
Remember Umbilicated because it has a U in the name. sometimes these lesions are umbilicated
