10 - Classification of Eyelid Disorders Flashcards
Type de lésions bénignes des paupières le plus fréquent?
Epithelial hyperplasias, or papillomas, are the most common type of benign eyelid lesions.
À quelle période de la gestation surviennent généralement les anomalies congénitales des paupières?
Most congenital anomalies of the eyelids are rare and occur during the second month of gestation as a result of developmental arrest or failure of fusion.
(Blepharophimosis– Ptosis– Epicanthus Inversus Syndrome)
Synonyme de Blepharophimosis– Ptosis– Epicanthus Inversus Syndrome (BPES)?
Blepharophimosis– ptosis– epicanthus inversus syndrome (BPES), also called blepharophimosis syndrome, is typically autosomal dominant in inheritance, although sporadic mutations can occur.
(Blepharophimosis– Ptosis– Epicanthus Inversus Syndrome)
Type de transmission?
Blepharophimosis– ptosis– epicanthus inversus syndrome (BPES), also called blepharophimosis syndrome, is typically autosomal dominant in inheritance, although sporadic mutations can occur.
(Blepharophimosis– Ptosis– Epicanthus Inversus Syndrome)
Classic findings du Blepharophimosis?
Classic findings include
* Blepharophimosis (profound shortening of the horizontal, and narrowing of the vertical, palpebral fissures)
* Telecanthus (increased soft- tissue distance between the medial canthi)
* Epicanthus inversus (fold of skin extending from the lower eyelid to the medial canthus)
* Severe bilateral ptosis, often with poor levator function
In addition to the characteristics listed above, findings may include
* Lateral lower eyelid ectropion secondary to vertical eyelid deficiency
* Flat nasal bridge
* Superior orbital rim hypoplasia
* Ear deformities
* High- arched eyebrows
* Hypertelorism
(Blepharophimosis– Ptosis– Epicanthus Inversus Syndrome)
Mutation génétique
The syndrome is caused by mutations in the FOXL2 gene , located on chromosome 3.
(Blepharophimosis– Ptosis– Epicanthus Inversus Syndrome)
Lequel des types est associé à une insuffisance ovarienne prématurée et une infertilité?
There are 2 types of BPES (types I and II), and both involve abnormalities of the eyelids. Type I is also associated with premature ovarian failure, and infertility or reduced fertility in women.
(Blepharophimosis– Ptosis– Epicanthus Inversus Syndrome)
Chx pour Tx du télécanthus?
Medial canthal repositioning is typically addressed first with multiple Z- plasties (Fig 10-2) or with Y– V- plasties, sometimes combined with repositioning of the medial canthal tendons via transnasal wiring or suture fixation to a plate; however, horizontal traction on the upper eyelid may exacerbate the ptosis.
(Congenital Ectropion)
Mx/Syndromes associés à un Congenital Ectropion (x3)?
Congenital ectropion rarely occurs as an isolated finding. It is more often associated with
* BPES
* Down syndrome
* Ichthyosis
(Congenital Ectropion)
Physiopathologie/Cause du Congenital Ectropion?
Congenital ectropion is caused by a vertical insufficiency of the anterior lamella of the eyelid and may give rise to chronic epiphora and exposure keratitis.
(Congenital Ectropion)
Conséquences d’un Congenital Ectropion?
Congenital ectropion is caused by a vertical insufficiency of the anterior lamella of the eyelid and may give rise to chronic epiphora and exposure keratitis.
(Congenital Ectropion)
Tx chirurgical ?
If the condition is severe and symptomatic, surgical correction is similar to that used for cicatricial ectropion, with vertical lengthening of the anterior lamella with full- thickness skin grafting, and, frequently, horizontal tightening of the lateral canthal tendon.
Allongement vertical de la lamelle antérieure avec une greffe cutanée sur toute l’épaisseur et un resserrement horizontal du tendon canthal latéral.
(Congenital Ectropion)
Causes et Tx d’une Complete eversion of the upper eyelid?
Complete eversion of the upper eyelids occasionally occurs in newborns (Fig 10-3).
Possible causes include
* Anterior lamellar inflammation or shortage
* Inclusion conjunctivitis
* Down syndrome.
Topical lubrication and short- term patching of both eyes may be curative.
Full- thickness sutures or a temporary tarsorrhaphy is used when necessary, followed by definitive repair.
Congenital eyelid deformities : Ankyloblepharon vs Epiblepharon vs Epicanthus palpebralis vs Euryblepharon?
(Euryblepharon)
Qu’est-ce qu’un Euryblepharon?
Euryblepharon is associated with both vertical shortening and horizontal lengthening of the lower eyelids and may be associated with BPES.
(Euryblepharon)
Portion de la lower eyelid la plus souvent involved : médiale ou latérale?
The lateral portion of the eyelid is typically more involved than the medial aspect, and the palpebral fissure often has a downward slant due to an inferiorly displaced lateral canthal tendon.
(Euryblepharon)
Upward slant ou Downward slant de la fissure palpébrale?
The lateral portion of the eyelid is typically more involved than the medial aspect, and the palpebral fissure often has a downward slant due to an inferiorly displaced lateral canthal tendon.
(Euryblepharon)
Pourquoi L’Euryblepharon peut-il occasionner une kératite d’exposition?
Impaired blinking and lagophthalmos may lead to exposure keratitis.
(Euryblepharon)
Tx de l’Euryblepharon?
- If the condition causes symptoms, reconstruction may include lateral canthal repositioning along with suspension of the suborbicularis oculi fat to the lateral orbital rim to support the lower eyelid.
- If excess horizontal length is present, a lateral tarsal strip or eyelid margin resection may be required.
- Skin grafts may occasionally be necessary.
(Ankyloblepharon)
Qu’est-ce que l’Ankyloblepharon?
Ankyloblepharon is a partial (ankyloblepharon filiforme adnatum) or complete fusion of the eyelid margins.
In severe cases, under lying ocular abnormalities may exist.
(Epicanthus)
Qu’est-ce qu’un Epicanthus?
Epicanthus is a medial canthal fold (pli canthal médial) that may result from immature midfacial bones or a fold of skin and subcutaneous tissue.
The condition is usually bilateral, and an affected child may appear esotropic owing to decreased scleral exposure nasally (pseudostrabismus).
(Epicanthus)
4 types of epicanthus?
Traditionally, 4 types of epicanthus have been described:
* epicanthus tarsalis, in which the fold is most prominent in the upper eyelid
* epicanthus inversus, in which the fold is most prominent in the lower eyelid
* epicanthus palpebralis, in which the fold involves the upper and lower eyelids equally
* epicanthus supraciliaris, in which the fold extends from the eyebrow region to the lacrimal sac
(Epicanthus)
Type d’epicanthus associé à la population Asiatique?
Epicanthus tarsalis can be a normal variation of the Asian eyelid, whereas epicanthus inversus is often associated with BPES.
(Epicanthus)
Type d’epicanthus associé au Blépharophimosis?
Epicanthus tarsalis can be a normal variation of the Asian eyelid, whereas epicanthus inversus is often associated with BPES.
(Epicanthus)
V ou F : Most forms of epicanthus become more apparent with normal growth of the facial bones.
Faux. Most forms of epicanthus become less apparent with normal growth of the facial bones.
(Epicanthus)
Tx d’un epicanthus?
- Most forms of epicanthus become less apparent with normal growth of the facial bones.
- If no associated eyelid anomalies are present, observation is recommended until the face achieves maturity.
- Epicanthus inversus, however, rarely resolves with facial growth.
- Most cases of isolated epicanthus requiring treatment are corrected by soft- tissue revisions such as Z- plasty or Y– V- plasty.
- Epicanthus tarsalis in an Asian patient may be eliminated by a Y– V- plasty with or without formation of an upper eyelid crease.
(Epiblepharon)
Chez quelle population l’Epiblepharon est-il plus fréquent?
Epiblepharon is most common in Asian children.
(Epiblepharon)
Physiopathologie de l’Epiblepharon?
- In this condition, the lower eyelid pretarsal muscle and skin ride above the lower eyelid margin to form a horizontal fold of tissue, causing the cilia to assume a vertical position.
- Pathophysiologically, this condition results from a deficiency in the attachment of the lower eyelid retractors (capsulopalpebral fascia) to the skin.
Le muscle préseptal de la PI et la peau dépassent le rebord de la PI, ce qui crée un pli horizontale et déplacement des cils.
(Epiblepharon)
Est-ce que les cils touchent la cornée dans l’Epiblepharon?
The cilia often do not touch the cornea except in downgaze, and this rarely causes corneal staining.
(Epiblepharon)
Tx de l’Epiblepharon?
- Epiblepharon may not require surgical treatment, as it tends to diminish with maturation of the facial bones.
- However, it occasionally results in acute or chronic corneal epithelial irritation; in that case, repair is performed by excision of the excess skin and pretarsal orbicularis muscle combined with placement of marginal rotation sutures.
(Epiblepharon)
Pathologie associée à un inversion de la marge de la paupière?
In contrast to epiblepharon, eyelid margin inversion is present in congenital entropion.
(Distichiasis)
Définir le Distichiasis?
Distichiasis is a rare, sometimes hereditary condition in which an extra row of eyelashes is present in place of the meibomian gland orifices.
(Distichiasis)
Physiopathologie du Congenital distichiasis?
Congenital distichiasis occurs when embryonic pilosebaceous units improperly differentiate into hair follicles.
(Distichiasis)
Indication et Tx du Distichiasis?
Treatment is indicated if the patient is symptomatic or if keratopathy develops.
Lubricants and soft contact lenses may be sufficient; if not, electrolysis, radiofrequency ablation, and eyelid splitting with removal of the follicles are alternatives.
(Congenital Coloboma)
Localisation du Colobome congénital a/n de la paupière?
A coloboma is an embryologic cleft that is usually an isolated anomaly when it occurs in the medial upper eyelid.
(Congenital Coloboma)
Qu’est-ce qu’un true coloboma?
A true coloboma includes a defect in the eyelid margin.
(Congenital Coloboma)
Localisation d’un colobome de la paupière associé à d’autres conditions congénitales?
When located in the lower eyelid, however, a coloboma is frequently associated with other congenital conditions such as facial clefts (eg, Goldenhar syndrome) and lacrimal deformities.
(Congenital Coloboma)
Conditions congénitales parfois associées?
When located in the lower eyelid, however, a coloboma is frequently associated with other congenital conditions such as facial clefts (eg, Goldenhar syndrome) and lacrimal deformities.
(Cryptophthalmos)
Définition Cryptophthalmos?
Cryptophthalmos is a rare condition that presents with partial or complete absence of the eyebrow, palpebral fissure, eyelashes, and conjunctiva.
The partially developed adnexa are fused to the anterior segment of the globe.
Histologically, the orbicularis oculi, levator muscle, tarsus, conjunctiva, and meibomian glands are attenuated or absent; thus, attempts at reconstruction are difficult.
Severe ocular defects are present in the under lying eye, which can be microphthalmic or associated with an orbital cyst.
(Infantile (Capillary) Hemangioma)
Hx d’un hémangiome capillaire infantile?
In the typical natural course, the lesion usually develops within a few weeks or months after birth, increases in size over the first year, and gradually involutes over the next 3–7 years.
(Infantile (Capillary) Hemangioma)
Indications de Tx
Hemangiomas are associated with a high incidence of amblyopia; therefore, treatment is recommended for patients who present with occlusion of the visual axis, anisometropia, or strabismus, as well as for lesions causing significant disfigurement.
(Infantile (Capillary) Hemangioma)
Tx de l’hémangiome infantile?
- Timolol gel : lésion limitée a/n eyelid, moins d’ES
- Intralesional steroids : /!\ risque nécrose paupière, occlusion rétinienne embolique, suppression adrénergique systémique
- Systemic propranolol : more widespread or deeper orbital involvement
- Oral corticostreoids : more widespread or deeper orbital involvement, élimine risque de nécrose et embole mais augmentation des ES systémiques
- Topical clobetasol propionate
- Interferon alfa : cas life-threatening ou sight-threatening lesions, risque of serious adverse effects
- Surgical excision : rare well-circymscribed lesions
- Topical cutaneous lasers : superficielle (1-2 mm), ne pénètre pas pronfondément
(Chalazion)
Glande(s) obstruée(s) dans un chalazion?
A chalazion is a focal inflammation of the eyelids that results from an obstruction of the meibomian glands.
(Chalazion)
Conditions souvent associées avec un chalazion?
This common disorder is often associated with conditions such as rosacea and chronic blepharitis.
Que produisent les glandes de Meibomius? Type de glande?
The meibomian glands are oil- producing sebaceous glands located in the tarsal plate.
(Chalazion)
Physiopathologie du chalazion?
If the gland orifices on the eyelid margin become plugged, the contents of the glands (sebum) are released into the tarsus and the surrounding eyelid soft tissue, eliciting an acute inflammatory response accompanied by pain and erythema.
(Chalazion)
Type d’inflammation à l’histologie d’un chalazion?
Histologically, these lesions are characterized by chronic lipogranulomatous inflammation.
Histologie : réaction lipogranulomateuse
* Granulomateuse = présence de macrophages (gros noyau excentrique)
* Lipo : macrophages autour de lipides

* Azithromycine : possibilité de faire un loading dose
Surgical management
Injection locale de cortico : moins efficace que la chx, skin depigmentation
Contre-indications des tétracyclines?
/!\ Tétracyclines CI chez enfants et F enceintes
(Chalazion)
À quel endroit la réponse inflammatoire est-elle la plus grande dans un chalazion : posterior or anterior eyelid?
In most cases, the greatest inflammatory response is on the posterior eyelid, and an incision through tarsus and conjunctiva is appropriate for drainage.
(Chalazion)
Décrire le surgical management du chalazion?
- In most cases, the greatest inflammatory response is on the posterior eyelid, and an incision through tarsus and conjunctiva is appropriate for drainage.
- Sharp dissection, curettage, and excision of all necrotic material, including the cyst wall, are indicated.
- This procedure results in a posterior marsupialization of the chalazion.
- Caution is required when removing inflammatory tissue at the eyelid margin or adjacent to the punctum.
(Chalazion)
Indications d’envoyer le specimen de chalazion en pathologie?
Given the risk of masquerade conditions, including sebaceous cell carcinoma, pathologic examination is appropriate for atypical or recurrent chalazia.
The combination of excision and steroid injection yields a 95% resolution rate.
(Orgelet)
Définition de l’orgelet?
- An acute infection (usually staphylococcal) can involve the sebaceous secretions in the glands of Zeis (external hordeolum, or stye) or the meibomian glands (internal hordeolum).
- In the case of external hordeola, the infection may appear to center around an eyelash follicle, and the eyelash can be epilated to promote drainage.
Souvent présence d’un point douloureux/dlr exquise avec l’orgelet (vs chalazion)
(Orgelet)
Glandes atteintes dans un orgelet?
- An acute infection (usually staphylococcal) can involve the sebaceous secretions in the glands of Zeis (external hordeolum, or stye) or the meibomian glands (internal hordeolum).
- In the case of external hordeola, the infection may appear to center around an eyelash follicle, and the eyelash can be epilated to promote drainage.
(Orgelet)
Tx de l’orgelet?
- Most hordeola resolve spontaneously, but diligent application of hot compresses and topical antibiotic ointment may be helpful.
In rare cases, hordeola may progress to superficial cellulitis, or even abscesses, of the eyelid.
* In such cases, systemic antibiotic therapy and possible surgical incision and drainage may be required.
(Orgelet)
External hordeolum vs Internal hordeolum?
An acute infection (usually staphylococcal) can involve the sebaceous secretions in the glands of Zeis (external hordeolum, or stye) or the meibomian glands (internal hordeolum).

Présentation clinique (signes et sx)?
Floppy eyelid syndrome is characterized by
* Ocular irritation
* Redness
* Eyelash ptosis
* Loss of eyelash parallelism
* Mild mucus discharge that is frequently worse on awakening
Patients have chronic papillary conjunctivitis and a superior tarsal plate that is rubbery, flaccid, and easily everted.
During examination, the lax upper eyelid everts spontaneously, especially laterally, when pulled up toward the forehead.
