Ectropion/Entropion Flashcards
What forms supratarsal fold?
Attachments of levator aponeurosis to skin. 8-11mm in caucasians, in Asians, weaker attachment, less distinct fold
What forms infratarsal fold?
Attachment of CPF to skin
What is importance of Zeiss glands?
sebaceous glands of eyelids, drain into lash shaft and obstruction causes stye
What is the impotantce of meibomian glands
Intratarsal, drain to grey line. Obstruction causes chalazion
Describe Asian eyelid anatomy differences (2)
1- More ROOF/SOOF 2- Levator aponuerosis attachement to dermis is inferior - causing supratarsal fold to be 0-6mm from lash line
WHat is the main function of each section of the o/oculi? -pretarsal -preseptal -preorbital
Pretarsal - presses lid to globe Preseptal - lacrimal drainage Preorbital - tight closure
What is the orgin adn insertion of levator?
Oirgin - lesser wing of spehnoid Insertion - anterior tarsal plate, dermis, O.O
What is the function of CPF?
Analogou to levator - transmits the function of the voluntary muscle (IR), inserts on the edge of the tarsal plate and dermis- linked to downward gaze CN3
What is the function of inferior tarsal muscle?
Analogous to mullers - poor fx definition - sympathetic innervation
What is lockwood ligameent?
supports globe invests the IR and IO
Describe the innervation of the eyelids (sensory and motor)
Sensory V1 - frontal (supraorbital,supratrochlear), lacrimal, nasociliary (infratrochlear) V2 - ZT, ZF, infraorbital Motor CN3, CN 7, SNS
Define symblepharon
cicatrix between eyelid and globe conjunctiva
Define blepharochalasia
laxity of skin and lower lid retractors due to allergy recurrence and edema
Define blepharophimosis
congenital SHORTENING of eyelid structures
Define blepharophimosis syndrome
congenital AD, blepharophimosis, ptosis, telecanthus and epicanthus inversus
Dermatochalasia
Upper lid skin only redundancy
Describe the snap test
to test for laxity Pull lower lid vertically down and release- lid should return to appose globe. if not suggests laxity
Describe the distraction test
to test for laxity If can be distracted anterior to the globe >10mm, suggests laxity
Describe physical exam for entropion
Comprehensive ophtho exam including VA, globe position Cicatricial? exmaine lids and conjunctiva Involutional? snap and distraction test, check LCT Spastic? hypertrophy of orbicularis pretarsal muscle Congenital? look for epiblepharon
How do you classify entropion
Congenital vs acquired CONGENITAL - epiblepharon - corrected by traction - true congenital - dettached lower lid retractors from skin along entire margin - not corrected by traction ACQUIRED - Cicatricial (deficiency of tissue) - Involutional (corrected with traction) - Spastic
What causes involutional entropion?
1- LAXITY in horizontal or vertical dimensions - of Horizontal support (MCT,LCT) - of lower lid retractors (tarsus falls into globe) 2- ENOPHTHALMUS
What causes cicatricial entropion?
Vertical deficiency of posterior lamella 2’ - infection - trauma -inflammation - iatrogenic (TC approach)
