This is a case to simply illustrate how corticosteroids can be dangerous. I never use them. Let an ophthalmologist make that decision (they have better malpractice coverage).

Q

What is the difference b/t corneal degenerations and corneal dystrophies?

A

Corneal degenerations: Unilateral or bilateral, typically non-familial

Corneal dystrophies: typically bilateral and hereditary

28
Q

What is the leading cause of corneal transplant in the US?

A

Fuch’s (familial) dystrophy

29
Q

What is cataracts?

A

The term cataract describes lenticular opacities that may be congenital or acquired. Systemic diseases (e.g., galactosemia, diabetes mellitus, Wilson disease, and atopic dermatitis), drugs (especially corticosteroids), radiation, trauma, and many intraocular disorders are associated with cataract. Age-related cataract typically results from opacification of the lens nucleus (nuclear sclerosis). The accumulation of urochrome pigment may render the lens nucleus brown, thus distorting the individual’s perception of blue color (the predominance of yellow hues in Rembrandt’s paintings later in life might have been a consequence of nuclear sclerotic cataracts).

33
Q

What is glaucoma?

A

Optic disc atrophy with characteristic cupping, usually accompanied with increased Intraocular pressure and progressive visual field loss if left untreated

34
Q

What is the difference between open and closed angle glaucoma?

A
  • In open-angle glaucoma the aqueous humor has complete physical access to the trabecular meshwork, and the elevation in intraocular pressure results from an increased resistance to aqueous outflow in the open angle.
  • In angle-closure glaucoma the peripheral zone of the iris adheres to the trabecular meshwork and physically impedes the egress of aqueous humor from the eye blocking the canal of schlem.
35
Q

Primary closed angle glaucoma is thought to be?

A

A medical emergency

36
Q

What are these images of?

A

Glaucoma

37
Q

What is this an image of?

A

Retina and optic nerve in glaucoma

Glaucoma might well be the only condition in which optic atrophy is accompanied by cupping (thus guaranteeing it will be on the Boards- Fish)

38
Q

What are the characteristics of hypertensive retinopathy?

A

Normally, the thin walls of retinal arterioles permit a direct visualization of the circulating blood by ophthalmoscopy. In retinal arteriolosclerosis the thickened arteriolar wall changes the ophthalmic perception of circulating blood: vessels may appear narrowed, and the color of the blood column may change from bright red to copper and to silver depending on the degree of vascular wall thickness

39
Q

What is this an image of?

A

Temporal Arteritis

The vessel lumen has been completely occluded by granulomatous inflammation, so-called temporal or “giant cell” arteritis (referring to the granulomatous nature of the inflammation). Common in older adults, keep in mind that retinal arteries may also be affected, causing retinal infarction.

Q

What are the two types of retinal detachment?

A
46
Q

What is age-related macular degeneration (AMRD)?

A

Degeneration of macula - causes distortion and eventual loss of central vison

Classified as wet or dry

47
Q

What is the difference between wet and dry ARMD?

A

Dry - deposition of yellowish extracellular material in and between Bruch membrane and retinal pigment epithelium with gradual decrease in vison

Wet - rapid loss of vision due to bleeding secondary to choroidal neovascularization

48
Q

What is a retinal detachment?

A

Separation of neurosensory layer of retina from the outer most pigmented epithelium. Leads to degeneration of photoreceptors and eventually vision loss.

49
Q

What is this an image of?

A

Dry AMRD

50
Q

What is this an image of?

Wet AMRD

51
Q

What is this an image of and what are the characteristics?

A

Papilledema

Optic disc swelling due to increased ICP

NEED TO RULE THIS OUT BEFORE DOING SPINAL TAP

Edema of the head of the optic nerve may develop as a consequence of compression of the nerve (as in a primary neoplasm of the optic nerve) or from elevations of cerebrospinal fluid pressure surrounding the nerve, e.g, from a large brain tumor).

52
Q

What are the characteristics of retinoblastoma?

Mutation of the Rb gene
