Q

Cornea endothelium: Thickness, organisation of layers, amount of cells, function

A
  1. Thickness 4-6um
  2. It is a monolayer of interdigitating hexagonal cells joined by tight junctions
  3. At birth: 1 million cells with approximately 3800 endothelial cells/mm2; these cells are loss with ageing. Cornea endothelium do not regenerate but rather stretch to fill gaps left by cell loss
  4. Function of the cornea endothelium is to keep cornea dehydrated and clear. If cell count < 500cells/mm2, pump action will be insufficient and this could lead to corneal oedema

Q

Supranuclear pathway

A

Supranuclear Eye Movements
These are movements controlled by higher centers in the brain (above the nuclei of the cranial nerves), particularly in areas such as the cerebral cortex, brainstem, and cerebellum. These centers generate signals that descend and modulate the activity of the cranial nerve nuclei responsible for eye movements.

Supranuclear pathways include areas like the frontal eye fields (FEF), which are involved in voluntary saccadic (quick) eye movements, and the parietal eye fields for visual attention.
The PPRF (paramedian pontine reticular formation) and MLF (medial longitudinal fasciculus) help coordinate movements like horizontal and vertical gaze.
Disruption in these areas leads to problems such as gaze palsies, nystagmus, or saccadic initiation failure (difficulty starting voluntary eye movements).
Examples of supranuclear movements:

Saccades: Quick, voluntary shifts of the eyes from one target to another (controlled by the cortex).
Smooth pursuit: Slow, continuous tracking of a moving object.
Vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR): Compensatory eye movements during head motion to stabilize gaze (this has both supra- and infranuclear involvement).

Q

Dolls head manoeuvre?

A

Doll’s Head Maneuver (Oculocephalic Reflex)
The doll’s head maneuver is used to test the integrity of the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR), which is a key supranuclear reflex. It involves turning the head to one side while observing the eyes’ ability to remain fixed on a stationary target.

Normal response: When the head is turned to one side, the eyes move in the opposite direction to maintain fixation (compensatory movement).
This reflex indicates that the brainstem (supranuclear pathway) is intact and working properly.
Abnormal response: If the eyes do not move (i.e., they move with the head instead of in the opposite direction), it suggests damage to the brainstem, vestibular system, or higher centers responsible for the VOR.
This test is especially useful in unconscious or comatose patients to assess brainstem function, as they cannot voluntarily move their eyes.Relies of the vestibular-ochlear pathway - eyes move with passive movement of the head. This means that the infranuclear pathway is intact and the problem must be supranuclear
