from Wills Eye Review Flashcards
In the lower face facial nerve is
deep to SMAS so dissection superficial to the SMAS avoids the facial nerve
In the temporal area- facial nerve is
above the SMAS. Dissection along the deep temporalis fascia avoids the facial nerve
Corrugator muscle Creates
vertical furrows at the bridge of the nose
Procerus muscle
Creates horizontal furrows of the bridge of the nose
Lid crease is formed by
levator attachments to skin and pretarsal orbicularis
PROTRACTORS of upper lid
Orbicularis
encircles the canaliculi and facilitates tear drainage
The deep head (Horner’s tensor tarsi) of the pretarsal orbicularis muscle
Forms the lateral canthal tendon
pretarsal orbicularis muscle
ORBITAL SEPTUM Arises from
periosteum of the superior and inferior orbital rims
Where is ORBITAL FAT
Preaponeurotic orbital fat is directly beneath the septum
UPPER LID RETRACTORS
LEVATOR MUSCLE AND APONEUROSIS, SUPERIOR TARSAL MUSCLE - MULLER’S
WHITNALL’S LIGAMENT
Condensation of the anterior sheath of the
levator, which serves a suspensory function
Forms Lockwood’s suspensory ligament
CAPSULOPALPEBRAL FASCIA
CAPSULOPALPEBRAL FASCIA originates from
originates from the inferior rectus muscle.
Forms Lockwood’s suspensory ligament. Fuses with the septum and then inserts onto the inferior border of the tarsus.
Forms inferior fornix
Forms inferior fornix
CAPSULOPALPEBRAL FASCIA
analogous to Muller’s
INFERIOR TARSAL MUSCLE
EYELID MARGIN-length
30 mm
Grayline-formed by
muscles of Riolan - anterior to tarsus
VASCULAR SUPPLY
1).INTERNAL CAROTID: Ophthalmic artery, the supraorbital, and
lacrimal branches.
2).EXTERNAL CAROTID: FACIAL ARTERIES -Angular and temporal branches.
LYMPHATICS
PREAURICULAR: Lateral aspect of both lids and lateral canthus.
SUBMANDIBULAR: Medial aspect of both lids and medial canthus
BLEPHAROPHIMOSIS SYNDROME - gene
FOXL2 gene on Chromosome 3
BLEPHAROPHIMOSIS SYNDROME - TREATMENT
Multiple Z-plasties
Y-V plasties
Transnasal wiring
2. Correct the ptosis: frontalis sling.
CONGENITAL DISTICHIASIS
EXTRA ROW OF LASHES INSTEAD OF MEIBOMIAN GLAND ORIFICES
CONGENITAL ECTROPION Caused by
vertical shortage of the anterior lamella of the eyelid
