30
Q

T/F: the riMLF is the location of the vertical gaze center?

A

True

31
Q

What is the vestibulo-ocular reflex?

A

connections between vestibular nucleus and EOM nuclei through the MLF to coordinate eye movements in response to head movements, allowing eyes to remain fixed on a target even when the head is moving

32
Q

Which eye muscle is the only one to have a single nucleus and not a pair?

A

LPS

33
Q

Which is the only cranial nerve to exit the midbrain/pons posteriorly?

A

CNIV - trochlear

34
Q

The fibers to which EOMs decussate and supply contralateral eye to their nuclei?

A

SR and SO

35
Q

Which cranial nerve damage is most likely to be involved with increased ICP?

A

CNVI - abducens

36
Q

Which cranial nerve damage is most likely to be involved in trauma?

A

CNIV - trochlear

37
Q

What are saccades vs. pursuits?

A

saccades - rapid eye movements, FEF and superior colliculus (contralateral)

pursuits - smooth tracking movements, parietal lobe (ipsilateral)

38
Q

which EOMs originate from the CTR and optic nerve sheath?

A

SR and MR (pain on eye movement with nerve swelling)

39
Q

what are some qualities that EOMs have that are unique from other skeletal muscle in the body?

A

blood supply is denser in EOMs, nerve supply is denser and more finely tuned, EOM movements are faster and more fatigue resistant

40
Q

which EOM inserts onto the sclera closest to the limbus and which is farthest?

A

MR is closest, 5.5mm from limbus
SR is furthest, 7.7mm from limbus
(LR is 6.9mm and IR is 6.5mm from limbus)

41
Q

what is the only EOM that does not originate on the CTR?

A

IO - originates on the maxilla

42
Q

what connections ensure that the eyelid is raised when the eye is in upgaze?

A

the sheath covering the SR is connected to the sheath of the LPS and the connective tissue of the superior conjunctival fornix, all causes the eye to lift the lid when the eye is in upgaze

43
Q

ligament of Lockwood

A

IR sheath combines with IO sheath to form the suspensory ligament of Lockwood, attaches to the inferior tarsal plate and extends from the zygomatic bone to the lacrimal bone to provide support for the globe

44
Q

how do the EOMs get their blood supply?

A

blood is supplied mainly by the muscular branch of the ophthalmic artery, superior lateral branch supplies the SR, LR, and SO, and the inferior medial branch supplies the MR, IR, and IO.
The lacrimal, supraorbital, and infraorbital arteries provide a minor blood supply to the EOMs also

45
Q

how are the EOMs innervated?

A

superior division of CNIII - SR
inferior division of CNIII - IR, IO, MR
CNVI - LR
CNIV - SO

46
Q

Velocity and latency of saccade

A

1000 deg/s velocity
200ms latency

47
Q

Velocity and latency of pursuits

A

50 degrees/sec, 125ms latency

48
Q

What does an INO present as?

A

Cannot adduct same side as lesion, and has horizontal nystagmus on the contralateral eye/gaze

49
Q

What is OKN?

A

Optokinetic nystagmus, following a moving object while head stays still

“TONS of movement” in 3month old is normal presence of T -> N OKN movement ability only (cannot do N->T yet)

50
Q

VOR vs. OKR?

A

VOR keeps image on fovea when head is moving (eyes moving opposite to head movement), still happens when eyes are closed. 300 deg/sec velocity and 15msec latency.
Becomes OKR (optokinetic reflex) if head is moving for greater than 30 seconds in duration

51
Q

Donder’s Law

A

Orientation of the eye for a particular gaze is always the same, regardless of where the eye was initially positioned before moving to that gaze

52
Q

Listing Law

A

Eye moves around the Listing’s plane/axes

(Y is forward and backwards, X is side to side, and Z is up to down)

53
Q

What is the Troxler effect and how do eye movements fix this?

A

Fading of peripheral images when fixating on a central object, involuntary eye movements prevents this by moving and using new cells

54
Q

Micro saccades

A

Correct microdrifts and micro tremors (2-10 deg.sec, 6arcmin amp)

55
Q

Micro tremors

A

Unintentional due to neural noise, (65-75Hz, 10arcmin amp)

56
Q

Microdrifts

A

Unintentional, due to neural noise, like micro tremors but larger and slower (1arcmin/sec, 6arcmin amp)))

57
Q

Testing for VOR/vestibular dysfunction:

A

“ROC”
1. Rotational
2. Oculocephalic
3. Caloric testing

58
Q

Rotational testing for vestibular system

A

Rotate patient in chair 20s, eyes normally have a slow conjugate movement in direction of rotation, then a fast movement in opposite direction

59
Q

Oculocephalic testing for vestibular system

A

“Dolls eyes”, eyes should move opposite to head movement when fixating a distant object and turning head side-to-side

60
Q

Caloric testing for vestibular system

A

COWS is the normal response (look at fast phase)
Cold water - fast movement to opposite side
Warm water - fast movement to same side

Same as “caloric nystagmus”

61
Q

What conditions would have a positive forced duction test?

A

Orbital fracture with trapped muscle, TED, Browns, myositis, Duanes

62
Q

What abnormal deviation conditions would have a negative forced duction test?

A

CN3,4,6 palsies, ischemia, tumour

63
Q

What germ cell layer do the EOMs derive from and in what order?

A

Mesoderm
CN3 muscles, then LR, then SO

64
Q

Which EOMs have blood supply from both ICA and ECA arteries?

A

IR and IO

65
Q

Vergence eye movements are driven by?

A

Retinal disparity (to maintain motor fusion)

66
Q

In what ways are EOMs different from other skeletal muscles in the body?

A
  1. Blood supply is denser in EOMs
  2. Nerve supply is denser and more finely tuned
  3. EOM movements are faster and more fatigue resistant due to a unique combination of white (fast) and red (slow but sustaining) muscle fibres
67
Q

What can happen to the EOMs during TED?

A

EOM restrictions! Not palsy. So if you see an Eso deviation its not because of LR palsy it is because of MR restriction.
Most common: IMSLO

68
Q

How does IOI (idiopathic orbital inflammation) look different from TED?

A

TED has just EOMs swelling/restricting, IOI has EOMs and tendons all swelling.

69
Q

What are the common causes of an INO?

A

young patient - MS
older patient - stroke

70
Q

the primary action for obliques is

A

torsion

71
Q

superiors always __________ and inferiors always ________

A

S - intort and I - extort

72
Q

obliques always ________ and S/I recti always ___________
