Chapter 30 - Orbital Surgery Flashcards
Most common cause of proptosis in adults
Thryoid eye disease
Is also most common extra-thyroid manifestation of graves disease
7 bones of orbit
lesser wing sphenoid, frontal (roof), maxillary, palatine, zygomatic (floor), ethmoid, maxillary, lacrimal, sphenoid (medial wall), zygomatic, greater sphenoid (lateral)
Orbit dimensions
30mL
Entrance height 35mm, width 40mm
Optic foramen
through lesser wing of sphenoid from MCF to orbital apex
Contains CN II, ophthalmic a, SNS from carotid plexus
Supraorbital foramen
medial third superior margin rim
Supraorbital n/a/v
Anterior ethmoid foramen
frontoethmoidal suture
24mm posterior to rim
anterior ethmoid vessels/nerve
Posterior ethmoidal foramen
12mm posterior to ant ethm foramen, jxn medial wall/roof
posterior ethmoid vessels/nerve
24/12/16 rule
Anterior ethmoid artery (24mm) Posterior ethmoid (12mm) Optic nerve (6mm) in sequential measurements from posterior lacrimal crest
Two foramen in lateral wall of orbit
Zygomaticotemporal/facial
Nerves going through Sup and Inf portions of SOF
Sup: frontal, lacrimal br V1, IV
Inf: III, nasociliary V1, VI, SOV, SNS
División vía lateral rectus
Nerves through IOF
V2 branches
IOV
One EOM not originating at apex
Inferior oblique - originates from shallow depression in orbital plate of maxillary bone
Blood supply to EOM
Ophthalmic, lacrimal, infraorbital
Blood supply to eye
Ophthalmic branches (central retinal, lateral/medial posterior ciliary, lacrimal, muscular, supraorbital, A/P ethmoid, suprateochlear, nasofrontal, dorsonasal aa
Orbital anastomoses between ECA, ICA
Lacrimal a, transverse facial/STA
Dorsonasal, angular
