Eye Flashcards
fracture of orbital walls usually due to indirect trauma; medially and inferiorly along the maxillary bone most of the time
orbital blowout fracture
what muscles abduct the eye
superior oblique, inferior oblique, lateral rectus
what muscles adduct the eye
superior rectus, inferior rectus, and medial rectus
what muscles laterally rotate the eye (extorsion)
inferior rectus and inferior oblique
what muscles medially rotate the eye (intorsion)
superior rectus and superior oblique
what eye muscle does CNVI (abducens) innervate
lateral rectus M.
what muscle does CNIV (trochlear) innervate
superior oblique m.
what nerves pass through the superior oblique fissure but not the common tendinous ring?
lacrimal n. (V1)
frontal n. (V1)
trochlear n. (IV)
what nerves pass through the superior oblique fissure and the common tendinous ring of the eye?
superior division of CNIII
inferior division of CNIII
nasociliary n. (CNV1)
abducens n. (CNVI)
trochlear palsy
superior oblique is messed up, so the head tilts away from the affected side to compensate for the lack of intorsion (medial rotation)
abducens palsy
cannot look laterally with affected eye
down and out eye
loss of ocular muscle innervation, leaves superior oblique and lateral rectus intact
complete ptosis
loss of innervation to levator palpebrae superioris
fibrous layer of eye
sclera and cornea
vascular layer of eye
iris, ciliary body, and choroid
