155
Q

when should ct be done with fractures

A

obvious fracture noted
dec EOMs
severe pain
difficult/incomplete exam

156

157
Q

vitreous traction on retina causing retina to separate from epith and choroid

A

active retinal detachment

158
Q

fluid accum betw retina and underlying epith

A

passive retinal detachment

159
Q

what does separation of retina from underlying layers lead to

A

ischemia of neurons- degeneration of photorec=vision loss

160
Q

mc retinal detachment with hole/tear in retina

A

rhegmatogenous retinal detach

161
Q

what causes rhegmatogenous retinal detachment

A

vitreous traction- humor adheres to retine- contracts-pulls retina-tears
fluid/humor leaks accum behind retina causing detachment

162
Q

vitreous traction is nonrhegmatogenous retinal detachment

A

like rhegmato but pulls retina off instead of tearing it

163
Q

exudative detach of retina

A

partial thickness retinal detach from inflam/malignant process

164
Q

lattice degeneration of retinal detach

A

atrophy of retinal tissue- prone to vitreous traction

165
Q

rf of retinal detachment

A

myopia (nearsightedness)
cataract surgery
age
fam hx

166
Q

pt presents with floaters, black spots, and flashes of light and on exam see curtain

A

retinal detachment

167
Q

tx vitreous traction retinal detachment

A

observ- floaters resolve 3-12m may be persistent

sump get worse=vitrectomy

168
Q

tx retinal hole/tear wout detach

A

laser retinopexy/ cryoreinopexy

169
Q

tx hole/tear w retinal detach

A

laser retinopexy/cryortinopexy
pneumatic retinopexy
scleral buckle

170
