preseptal cellulitis
commonsymps: tenderness, red eyelid, mild feversigns: eyelid erythema, edema, warmth tenderness, conjunc. chemosis, eyelid skin tightness, eyelid lymphedema (fluctuant)
preseptal cellulitis etiology
trauma (puncture, insect bite)adjacent infectionS. aureus, Strep, H. flu, HSV, VZV
ddx: preseptal vs. orbital cellulitis: orbital if..
hx of sinus infEOM restrictionAPD, proptosis, pain with eye movementother tests: CT of brain/orbits, CBC w/diff, Gram stain&culture
mild preseptal cellulitis tx
augmentin 500 mg PO tid x10 days(PCN allerg): bactrim DS x10 days
mod-severe preseptal cellulitis tx OR
IV Unasyn or Ceftriaxone(PCN allerg): IV Moxifloxin or Vancomycin x 10-14 days*IV–>PO if improvement
if secondary conjunctivitis present with preseptal cellulitis, tx w/
erythromycin ointment
if abscess present with preseptal cellulitis
I + D and Cx/Gs
make sure to do this with preseptal cellulitis tx
daily follow-up until improve
orbital cellulitis symptoms
uncommonred eye, pain, double/blurred vision, headache, diplopia
orbital cellulitis signs
eyelid edema, erythema, warmth, tenderness, conjunc. chemosis, optic disc edema, purulent discharge, fever, *proptosis, restricted ocular motility w/ pain on attem. mvmnt, +/- APD
orbital cellulitis etiology
extension of sinusitis (ethmoiditis)orbital/dental fracturevascular extension from bacteremia/facial cellulitis
orbital cellulitis organisms
adult: Staph and Strepchildren: Haemophilusdental abscess: mixed aerobes and anaerobesimmunecomps: fungi (mucor, aspergillus)
orbital cellulitis work-up
CBC and blood Cxhead/orbit CTGs and CxLP if ment stat and pn w/ nk flexion (mening)
orbital cellulitis tx
admit for IV Abxadults: vanco + Unasyn or Zosyn(PCN allerg): Vanco + Cipro + metronasal decongestant
if optic neuropathy suspected/severe proptosis suspected with orbital cellulitis…
perform a canthotomy/cantholysis –>relieves eyelid “compartment syndrome”
orbital cellulitis assessment
daily pupil, Va, motility, IOP, WBC–>change to oral Abx if improving (augmentin, bacterim)
if orbital cellulitis not improving with 48-72 hrs of IV..
re-image to look for abcess, surgical drainage
orbital pseudotumor AKA idiopathic orbital inflammatory disease (IOID)
acute onset of pain, red eye, proptosis, diplopia, blurred vision, typ. unilateral in adults, bilat. in kids w/ assoc. fever, malaise
if IOID bilat in adult need to rule out..
systemic disease: Saroid, Wegners, breast Ca metastasis
CT scan of IOID
thickened mm., tendons, and posterior sclera (“ring sign”)–>helps ddx from orbital cellulitis or TED(thyroid orbitopathy): only mm. involved
if uncertain it’s IOID + no response to steroids
biopsy
IOID (orbital pseudotumor) tx
60-100mg prednisone w/ PPI (GI prophylaxix), slow taper**do not want to give orb. cellulitis pts steroids!!
canaliculitis
canaliculi inf.tearing, expressible discharge, erythema, recurrent conjunctivitis, “pouting punctum”
canaliculitis organisms
actinomyces isrealii (MC?)Nocardia, Candida, Fusarium, Asp*take smear and Cx of discharge, Gram and Giemsa stain
Canaliculitis tx
topical ciprofloxacin and oral doxycycline x2 weeksWC + probing and irrigation w/ PCN + iodine 1%canalicular curettageI&Dif fungus: nystatin drops
dacryocystitis organisms
staph & streppseudomonasH. flu
dacryocystitis tx
WC + topical and PO AbxI&D if abscessavoid probing and irrigation during acute phase
dacryocystitis tx after acute inflammation controlled
dacryocystorhinostomy(DCR) crack bone, thread lacrimal system…
dacryoadenitis
rare inf. of lacrimal glandpain, redness, swelling over outer 1/3 of upper lidtyp. seen in kids
dacryoadenitis etiology
inflammatory conditions (most common), bacterial (staph, strep, Neisseria), viral (mumps, mono, Herpes Zoster)
dacryoadenitis tx (aimed at etiology)
if unclear or bac: Abx FIRST: Augmentin or Keflex inflam: Medrol dose pack or systemic steroidsviral: symptomatic relief
if dacryoadenitis tx is not responding: rule out..
lacrimal gland mass
conjunctivitis
red eye, discharge (worse in am) itching, FBS?hx of recent URI
forms of conjunctivitis
viral, allergic, atopic/vernal, bacterial, gonococcal
2 types of conjunctivitis
follicularpapillary
follicular conjunctivitis
follicles- small dome shaped nodules w/out prominent central vesseletiology: virus, bac, chlamydia, toxins-represents aggr. of lymphos and plasma cells in superficial stroma btw tarsus and conjunctiva-may have germinal centers or macrophages
papillary conjunctivitis
papillae- cobblestone arrang. of flattened nodules w/ vascular core-beefy red, in young kidsetiology: allergic/atopic (watery discharge), vernal/limbal (horner trantas dots), gonococcus (sev. purulent discharge), bacterial (scant discharge)-nodules of conj. epi w/ many eosins, lymphos, plasma cells w/ central vascular channel
viral conjunctivitis
adenovirus, typ. after URI+preauricular adenopathyone eye–>both eyeswatery discharge, pseudomembranes, SCH?, symblepharon?
viral conjunctivitis tx
cool compress, art. tears, +/- antihistaminesteroids drops if sub epithelial infiltrates-membrane can be manually peeled
viral conjunctivitis is highly contagious for how long
10 days from onset
bacterial conjunctivitis
follicular/papillaryetiology: staph, strep, moraxella, H. flu-Cx & Gs if purulent, persistent, or recurrent
bacterial conjunctivitis tx
ciloxan or vigamoxpolymyxin B sulfate w/ trimethoprim
gonococcal conjuntivitis
hyperacute, severe purulent discharge + LAD?
