EENT Flashcards
ability to fixate starts when
6 weeks
color perception develops when
2 months
binocular vision with convergence ability starts when
3 months
preference for patterns/faces starts when
4 months
visual acuity of newborn
20/200
optokinetic nystagmus
ability to see a moving target, follow it, and return to original gaze. develops in first few months of life
pendular nystagmus is a sign of
multiple sclerosis or spinocerebellar disease
spasmus nutans
benign transient disorder with pendular nystagmus, intermittent head tilt and nodding/head bobbing
loss of visual acuity due to active cortical suppression of the vision of one eye
ambylopia
inward turning of eye
esotropia (form of strabismus)
outward turning of eye
exotropia (form of strabismus)
hyperopia
mild far sightedness (normal in 3 yr old)
Hirschberg test
corneal light reflex
deviation of alignment of one eye in relation to the other that worsens when focusing
strabismus
untreated strabismus results in ___ by age ___
ambylopia by 6 years
cover test
eye with strabismus deviates instead of fixating on object
accommodative esotropia on cover test
uncovered eye moves outwards
accusative exotropia on cover test
uncovered eye moves inward
storage weber at increased risk for
glaucoma
presentation of congenital glaucoma
tearing, photophobia, blepharospasm, corneal clouding, edema, progressive enlargement of the eye
important associations with cataracts
CMV, rubella and galactosemia
external hordeolum aka
stye
external hordeolum treatment
warm compresses and topical antibiotics, possible I&D but never oral abx
lipogranuloma within the eyelid
chalazion
cause of chalazion
chronic inflammation due to retention of secretions, usually painless, not an infection
chalazion vs stye
chalazion is painless and not an infection, requires surgical excision
nasolacrimal duct obstruction treatment
massage BID/TID. topical antibiotic if infected. ophthalmology if still there at 1 year
chlamydial conjunctivitis must have
bilateral eye discharge
most common cause of orbital cellulitis
staph aureus
buzzwords for orbital cellulitis rather than preseptal
compromised vision, proptosis, decreased extra ocular movements, pain exacerbated by eye movement
orbital cellulitis treatment
CT scan to determine extent and c/s ophthalmology, admit for IV abx
treatment for corneal abrasion
fluorescein stain the eye first, then topical antibiotic
photophobia, tearing, intermittent sharp pain, irregular red reflex, dulled corneal light reflex
corneal abrasion
retinitis pigments fundoycopic view
optic disc w/ central pallor, narrow arterioles coming off of the optic disc, retinal pigment deposition on the periphery
flame shaped hemorrhages
retinal hemorrhage (NAT)
who gets screened for ROP
weight <1500 grams, GA <32 weeks or weight <2000 grams w/ unstable clinical course
when to screen for ROP
31-34 weeks post conceptions or 4 to 6 weeks after birth (whichever is later)
greatest risk factor for ROP
prematurity due to incomplete retinal vascularization
ophthalmia neonatorum
conjunctivitis in the first 4 weeks after birth
watery discharge 5 to 14 days after birth that becomes mucopurulent
chlamydia conjunctivitis
chlamydia conjunctivitis treatment
oral erythromycin x14 days (likely has co-infection so needs systemic treatment)
hyper acute hyper purulent conjunctivitis 24 to 48 hours after birth
N. gonorrheae neonatal conjunctivitis
N. gonorrhea conjunctivitis treatment
IV ceftriaxone and frequent saline lavage
diffuse uptake of fluorescein stain
G- infection or ulceration of corneal epithelium 2/2 contacts
most common cause of viral conjunctivitis
adenovirus
viral conjunctivitis treatment
artificial tears and cool compresses
non-purulent bilateral conjunctivitis with perilimbal sparing
kawasaki disease
collection of blood between cornea and iris (anterior chamber)
hyphema
hyphema treatment
bed rest and elevate head 30 degrees to decrease intraocular pressure with eye shield in place
blowout fracture
fracture to orbital wall or floor
double vision when looking to one side of dysconjugate gaze to one side
blowout fracture
curtain like visual deficit
detached retina
most common cause of conductive hearing loss
effusion/otitis media
keratinization of the epithelial cells in the middle ear resulting in conductive hearing loss
cholesteatoma
foul smelling discharge despite treatment of perforated TM
cholesteatoma
malfunction of the cochlea and/or auditory nerve
sensorineural hearing loss
