Eyelid + Eyebrow Flashcards
The position of the eyebrow is dependent on the relationship between
The elevator and depressor muscles (tone & innervation of muscle)
Associated glands in anterior lamella
Zeis and moll
Associated glands in posterior lamella
Meibomian
Meibomian glands of the posterior lamella maybe develop an abnormality of keratonization
Can result in inflammation leading to hordeolum or chalazion
Glands of zeis are
Sebaceous
Glands of moll
Sweat glands
Accessory row of eyelashes either partially or complete, emerges adjacent to or from opening of meibomian glands
Distichiasis
Can rub sclera
Acquired distichiasis usually occurs from
Chronic inflammation
Distichiasis is a _____ disease and many times the palpebral conjunctiva may be reflected and adhere to the bulbar conjunctiva
Mucocatenous
Look at mouth to see if it is systemic
Diseases that may lead to distichiasis are
Ocular cicatricial pemphigoid (fibrotic and becomes a scar)
Steven-Johnson syndrome
Normal eyelashes develop and have abnormal orientation, they grow in instead of out
Trichiasis
Principal functions of the eyelids
Protect (cilia and sensitive and have blink reflex )
Lubricate (gland)
Maintain integrity and clarity( smooth tears and cornea prevent opacities)
Entropion can be caused by
Alteration of muscle tone caused by pathology or innervation issue
Irritation in ectropion is caused by
Exposed area allows for evaporation and dehydration causing irritation
Spastic entropion
Overactive septal potion of o.o. Causes override of tarsal portion
(Neuro, inflam, irritation)
A tonic ectropion lower lid is due to
Loss of o.o. Tonus (nerve/palsy/muscle tone)
Paralytic ectropion
Flaccid paresis VII nerve (neuropathology or innervation issue)
Loss of eyebrows eyelids
Madarosis
Madarosis can occur in
Dermatological disorders and complex systemic diseases (mucatenous disorder)
Contraction of ____ helps in lacrimal pump mechanism
Pretarsal orbicularis muscle
Opening of eyelid
Muscle and innervation
LPS - CNIII
Sympathetic smooth muscle (muller)
Inferior + superior
Closing of eyelid
Muscle and nerve
Orbicularis oculi
CNVII
