[ANAT] NERVES OF ORBIT Flashcards
nerve of vision
optic nerve
smallest division of trigeminal purely sensory
ophthalmic
optic nerve is made up on
axons of ganglionic layer of retina
optic nerve piecers sclera at
3mm medial to posterior pole
optic nerve is enclosed in?
3 meningeal sheaths
optic nerve lacks
neurilemmal sheath
(can’t regenerate+ is a tract)
length & parts of optic nerve
40mm
intraorbital= 25mm
intracanalicular= 5mm
intracranial=10mm
reason behind tortuosity of optic nerve
allows free movement of eyeball
optic nerve is surrounded by
recti muscles (@ apex)
short ciliary nerves
fat
ciliary ganglion location
between optic nerve & tendon of LR
optic nerve is pierced by?
central retinal artery & vein
optic nerve is crossed by
N-O-S
nasociliary nerve
ophthalmic artery
superior div ophthalmic vein
relation of optic nerve to ophthalmic artery inside optic canal
above & medial to ophthalmic artery
relation of optic nerve to ICA inside cranial cavity
ICA is lateral to optic nerve
intra-orbital blood supply of optic nerve
posterior ciliary arteries
central retinal artery
intra-canalicular blood supply of optic nerve
ophthalmic artery
intracranial blood supply of optic nerve
superior hypophyseal artery
unilateral papilloedema is a sign of
optic neuritis
bilateral papilloedema is a sign of
increased ICT
aneurysm of ___can lead to lesion in optic chiasma
ICA
nerves passing through lateral wall of cavernous sinus
T-O-O
trochlear
ophthalmic
oculomotor
branches of ophthalmic nerve
lacrimal
frontal
nasociliary
supplies lacrimal gland & lateral part of upper eyelid
lacrimal n (ophthalmic)
smallest branch of ophthalmic
lacrimal
supplies skin of forehead & upper eyelid
supratrochlear n (ophthalmic)
supplies frontal air sinus
supraorbital (ophthalmic)
supplies skin of forehead + scalp up to vertex + frontal air sinus
supraorbital n (ophthalmic)
supplies lateral part of upper eyelid
supratrochlear n (ophthalmic)
supplies cornea, iris, ciliary body
large ciliary nerves (nasociliary of ophthalmic)
supplies ethmoidal & sphenoidal air sinuses
posterior ethmoidal nerve (nasociliary of ophthalmic)
