Eye movement in health and disease Flashcards
what muscle controls adduction of the eye and which cranial nerve
medial rectus
CN3
what muscle controls abduction of the eye and what CN
lateral rectus
CN6
what muscles control elevation of the eye and CN
inferior oblique
superior rectus
what muscles control depression of the eye and cranial nerves
superior oblique - CN4
inferior rectus CN3
what muscles control intorsion( nasal rotation) of eye
superior oblique CN4
what muscle control extorsion (temporal rotation) of the eye?
inferior oblique CN3
rectus muscle pull towards themselves and the obliqeu muscles
pull away from themselves e.g. superior obliqeu pulls inf
LR6, SO4, 3
convergence means both eyes must point medial to see near objects
if this dosent work what happens
inability to alternate between distant and near objects
conjugation is eyes must move together
if this dosent happen what happens
double vision - diplopia
accommodation is when the lens must be shaped to focus light coming from the viewed objects if this dosent work what happens
short or near sightedness
the centres fro conjugate gaze is found int h mid Brain and cranial nerve eye nuclei found in pons or midbrain so people with lesions here what will happens
won’t be Able to move their eyes with coordination or focus on near of far objects
6th uncle pons
3/4 in midbrain
vergence
eyes move in opposite directions to focus on near and far.objects
if the oculomotor nerve is injured what will the present with
Down and out appearance
Down to SO
and out due to LR
those are still working
elevation won’t work - SR an IO
depression and adduction IR and MR respectively
if the trochlear nerve is injured what will happen
Head tilt
depression and intorsion will not work - SO
if abducens nerve is injured what happens
move medially due to MR and no LR
abduction lost
