Eye and Eye Movement Flashcards
What bones make up the orbit?
Maxillary Frontal Zygomatic Ethmoid Lacrimal Sphenoid Palantine
Many Friendly Zebras Enjoy Lazy Summer Picnics
What foramina are found in the orbit?
Superior orbital fissure
Optic Canal
Inferior orbital fissure
What are the relationship between the sinuses?
Frontal= superior medial Ethmoid= medial Maxillary= inferior
What happens if you have chronic infections in the ethmoid sinus?
Erode into the orbit and cause optic neuritis
What is an orbital blow out fracture? What bones are normally involved? What are symptoms
Fracture of the orbital walls
Medially and inferiorly involving maxillary bone because those are the weak areas
- orbital contents can prolapse and become entrapped in maxillary
Dipolia, globe ptosis, exopthalmos
Which muscles of the eye are not innervated by the oculomotor nerve? Which nerves are they innervated by instead?
Lateral rectus m. - abducens n.
Superior oblique m. - trochlear n.
What nerve closes the eye? What nerve opens the eye?
Close= facial n. Open= occulomotor n.
What is the origin, insertion, innervation, and main action of the levator palperbrae superioris?
Sphenoid
Superior eyelid
Occulomotor n.
Elevate superior eyelid
What is the origin, insertion innervation, and main action of the Superior oblique muscle?
Sphenoid
Goes through trochlea and attaches on sclera
Trochlear n.
ABducts, depresses, and medially rotates
What is the origin, insertion innervation, and main action of the inferior oblique m.?
Anterior floor of orbit
Sclera (goes ant –> post)
Oculomotor N,
ABducts elevate and laterally rotates
What is the origin, insertion innervation, and main action of the superior rectus m.?
common tendinous ring
sclera
oculomotor n.
elevate, aDduct, medially rotate
What is the origin, insertion innervation, and main action of the inferior rectus
common tendinous ring
sclera
Depress, aDducts, laterally rotate
What is the origin, insertion innervation, and main action of the medial rectus?
Common tendinous ring
Sclera
Oculomotor n.
ADduct
What is the origin, insertion innervation, and main action of the lateral rectus?
common tendinous ring
sclera
Abducent n.
ABduct
How do you test the extraocular muscles?
H-test
Need to trap one muscle to test other by changing the gaze axis. If muscle perpendicular to then will be “trapped”
How do you test the superior rectus muscle?
Have patient aBduct eye (gaze angle 23 degrees) –> inferior oblique trapped so only test elevation
How do you test the inferior rectus?
Have patient aBduct eye (gaze angle 23 degrees) –> superior oblique trapped so only test depression
How do you test the superior oblique m.?
Have patient aDduct eye (gaze angle 51 degrees) –> trap inf. rectus m. –> testing depression only
How do you test the inferior oblique m.?
Have patient aDduct eye (gaze angle 51) –> trap superior rectus –> test elevation only
