19
Q

DX of Sialoceles

A

Ultrasounds, ct
FNA of yellowish/ fluid and blood

20
Q

MMM

A

Eosinophilic myositis - IMM inflammatory myopathy
Temporalis, masseter, pterygoid muscles - 2M fibers
Acute phase - severe pain upon palpation, restricted jaw movements, anorexia, +/- blindness

21
Q

DX for MMM

A

CT, MRI, muscle biopsy

22
Q

TX for MMM

A

Oral corticosteroids
Immunomodulators for long term therapy
Endophthalmus & atrophy of muscles is common in chronic cases

23
Q

Extraocular muscle myositis

A

IMM inflammatory myopathy
- extra ocular disease
- CD3 lymphocytic infiltration
Bilateral exophthalmos w/out 3rd eyelid - not painful, retraction of upper eyelid

24
Q

DX for EMM

A

Ultrasound, CT, MRI - biopsy not ideal

25
Q

TX for EMM

A

Oral corticosteroids - treatment is shorter term than MMM
Endophthalmus and strabismus is common w chronic cases

26
Q

Orbital neoplasia

A

Primary neoplasia - arises from orbital tissue
Secondary neoplasia - invade orbit from adjacent structures or metastasize from distant areas
Slowly progressive exophthalmos - non painful, unilateral, decreased globe retropulsion, third eyelid elevation

27
Q

EX for orbital neoplasia

A

Lymph node evaluation
Ultrasound, CT, MRI

28
Q

Treatment for orbital neoplasia

A

Exenteration or enucleation
Palliative vs radiation

29
Q

Proptosis

A

Sudden, forward displacement of globe w entrapment of eyelids - trauma origin
Common in Brachycephalic Breeds due to shallow orbit
Cats w this condition, trauma requires greater force = poor prognosis

30
Q

TX of Proptosis

A

Globe replacement - tarsorrhaphy
Enucleation

31
Q

Prognosis for Proptosis

A

Vision = guarded to poor (20%)
Positive - PLR better long term prognosis
Two or more of the extra ocular muscles are avulsed - enucleation is recommended due to compromised nerve supply, blood supply ext
Hyphens - blood inside anterior chamber = guarded

32
Q

Nasolacrimal system

A

Thin walled conduit that drains the tear film from the eye into the nasal passages
Puncta - super and inferior
Canaliculi
Lacrimal sac
Nasolacrimal duct
Nasal puncta

33
Q

Pre corneal tear film (PTF)

A

Functions to maintain uniform corneal surface, remove debris, deliver oxygen to Avascular cornea, provision of Antimicrobials substances in eye

34
Q

Composition of PTF

A

Lipid - meibomian glands (outer layer)
Aqueous - lacrimal and third eyelid (middle layer)
Mucin - goblet cells in conjunctiva (closest to cornea)

35
Q

Quantitative tear film deficiencies

A

Tear film produced is not a balanced
KCS*

36
Q

Causes for quantitiative deficiency

A

Immune-mediated (most common)
• Congenital (alacrima, lacrimal gland hypoplasia)
• Infectious (canine distemper virus)
• Drug-induced (sulfonamides, atropine, topical anesthetics) • Iatrogenic (T.E gland removal) • Neurogenic (parasympathetic denervation)

37
Q

Qualitative deficiency

A

Premature evaporation of tears
• Lipid or mucin deficiency •

Causes
• Marginal blepharitis / meibomianitis
• Autoimmune diseases affecting
mucocutaneous junctions • Severe cicatrization / conjunctival scarring

38
Q

Testing for qualitiative tear film

A

Swollen rounded eyelid margins, indicating marginal blepharitis
Multiple chalazia indicating meibomiantitis
Positive uptake for rose bengal stain
Tear film breakup time test

39
Q

KCS

A

Intense hyperemia, mucopurulent discharge, keratitis
Mucopurulent discharge & extensive Pigmentary keratitis = chronic
Infected axial stromal ulcer, malacia, diffuse corneal edema
Neurogenic KCS - dry nose, ipsilateral xeromycteria

40
Q

Treating tear film deficiencies

A

Cholinergic agents
Immunomodulating agents
Tear substitutes
Antibacterial agents
Mucinolytic anticollagenese agents

41
Q

Cholinergic agents

A

For neurogenic KCS
Pilocarpine (topical/oral)

42
Q

Immunomoudlating agents

A

Topical cyclosporine
Topical tarcolimus

43
Q

Antibacterial agents

A

Broad spectrum use is common in inadequate cleansing of ocular surface

44
Q

Mucinolytic - anticollagenese agents

A

Topical acetylcysteine
Removal of mucous debris

45
Q

Epiphora

A

Common
Obstruction of tear flow through nasal lacrimal system due to over production of tears
Mucopurulent punctual, conjunctival and nasal discharge
Swelling of medial Cathay region

46
Q

Diagnosing epiphora

A

Schirmer test
Florescent dye passage
Flush NSL - normograde = eye to nose, retrograde = nose to eye
Cytology

47
Q

Nasolacrimal system disorders

A

Bilateral punctual atresia = marked epiphora
Superior punctual & canicular foreign body = darcryocytisis
Tear staining syndrome
