BCSC 6. Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus Flashcards
Alignment measurement when paretic or restricted eye is fixating
Secondary deviation
Deviation measured when nonparetic eye is fixating
Primary deviation (less than secondary deviation)
Deviation in strabismus that is in directino opposite to one that thte patient had originally
Consecutive deviation
Strabismus that is the same size in all positions of gaze
Comitant deviation
Only extraocular muscle whose origin is on medial orbital wall
Inferior oblique
Only extraocular muscle that passes through the trochlea
Superior oblique
Primary action of inferior oblique
extorsion
Innervates the MR, IR, and IO muscles
inferior division of CN III
Primary component of the extraocular muscle pulleys
Elastin (and smooth muscle and collagen)
Form of b/l symmetric refractive error at 3.5D would place greatest risk for isoametropic amblyopia
Astigmatism -> isoametropic amblyopia
Primary synergistic (yoke) muscles used for gazing up and to the right
Left IO and right SR
Term for positions of gaze in which single extraocular muscle is prime mover
Cardinal positions (6)
Sensory adaptation to manifest strabismus most commonly seen in patients
Peripheral suppression - eliminates diplopia
Best test for measuring amount of strabismus in patient who has amblyopic eye with VA 20/400 and eccentric fixation
Krimsky test - does not depend on sensory or motor response. (Lancaster test depends on subjective localization of targets)
What is the most appropriate initial therapy for high accomodative convergence/accomodation (AC/A) esotropia
Bifocals - reduce need for accomodation at near and allow for development of fusion and stereopsis. Overminus increase accomodation
Eye motility abnormality commonly associated with infantile esotropia?
Dissociated vertical deviation (DVD).
Asymmetric smooth pursuit, better in temporal to nasal direction
Infantile esotropia
Exodeviation most commonly seen in general population
intermittent exotropia
Exodeviation in which orthoptic exercises are most appropriate initial therapy
Convergence insufficiency
Pseudostrabismus in which eyes appear exotropic but visual axes are optically aligned
Positive angle kappa
A-pattern exotropia with compensatory head posture
Chin-down
Clinical finding that accompanies upward movement of the eye in DVD
Extorsion of globe - (extorsion and exodeviation of elevating eye)
DVD is seen in
infantile strabismus
Finding most suggestive of bilateral rather than unilateral SO muscle palsy
Large V pattern - extorsion well over 10 degrees in downgaze, esotropic shift in downgaze, head posture chin down to avoid cyclodiplopia in downgaze
