HEENT Flashcards
wet AMD pathogenesis vs sxs vs tx
photoreceptors & pig epith send VEGF & cytok to choroid capillaries –> neovasc under macula –> leaky vessels –> Bruschen breaks down, scarring macula & fibrosis vs metamorphosia, central vision blind spots vs anti-angio/VEGF drugs, photodynamic therapy (photosensitizer + cold laser), laser photocoag, surg
dry AMD pathogenesis vs sxs vs tx
insuff O2 & nutrients to photoreceptors –> inc metabolic wastes –> drusen/hyaline vs blurry vision, incipient/geographic atrophy vs ARED2 formula
how to dx AMD?
visual acuity, Amsler grid test, ophthalmoscope, fluorescein & ICG angio, optical adherence tomography
retinal detach cause vs sxs vs tx
ctx vitreous vs flashes, floaters, periph retinal tears, scotoma vs retinal laser (ablate, adhere retinal tear down}
risk factors vs genetics of macular degen
age, smoke, HTN/CVD, fhx, gender vs auto dom, complement factor H
3 types of ectopia lentis
marfans –> dislocates upward
homocysteinuria –> dislocates downward
more spherical lens –> inc myopia
5 common retinal eye surg
macular hole repair, retinal detach repair, DM hem removal, remove IOFB, remove dropped artificial lens
AMD rehab
low vision aids, closed circuit TV, simple magnifiers/reading glasses
TED clinical findings
lymphocytes, mastocytes, plasmocytes. collagen & GAG deposits in muscle –> fibrosis. lipogenesis from preadipocytes & fibroblasts
TED pathogenesis vs tx
TsHR = ag on orbital fat & connective tissue vs teprotummab = IGF1R inhibitor
TED clinical signs
eyelid retraction, lid lag on infraduction, globe lag on supraduction, lagophthalmos
HTN retinopathy sxs vs complications
HA, blurry; macular star, inc arteriovenous pressure/swell, microaneurysm, optic disc swelling vs central retinal v occlusion, blown out capillaries, prolif retinopathy –> PRP, heart/kid complications
4 signs vs 4 txs of retinoblastoma
leukocoria, strab, pseudohypophon, hyphemia vs enucleation, irrad, laser, cryo/chemo
when to do screening for ROP vs retinal exam
<30 wks, <1500g, >30 wks if cardiopulm support vs 4-6wks, 31-32wks post conception
3 signs of retinitis pigmentosa vs 3 zones of ROP w/ assoc of ea?
loss night -> periph -> central vision. usher syndrome (+ hearing loss) vs post/inner 30 degrees, middle ora ser nasally, outer ora ser temporally. plus dz
