Tarsal Muscle (of Muller) Innervation
Postganglionic sympathetic fibers of T1
Levator Palpebrae Superioris innervation
CN III
Orbicularis Oculi Innervation
Facial Nerve
Portions of the Orbicularis Oculi
1) Palpebral Portion~ Gentle closing of lid
2) Lacrimal Portion~ Increases amount of lid contact to the surface of the eyeball and dilates the lacrimal sac
What portion of the orbicularis Oculi Dilates the Lacrimal Sac
Lacrimal Portion
What muscle is associated with Horner’s Syndrome
Tarsal Muscle (of Muller)
Describe the symptoms of Horner’s Syndrome
1) Slight Ptosis
2) Miosis~ Pupillary constriction due to paralysis of the dilator pupillae muscle
3) Enophthalmos~ due to paralysis of the orbitalis muscle of muller which has a slight protrusion function
4) Anhidrosis and Blushing of Skin
Partial vs Complete Ptosis
1) Complete Ptosis = Oculomotor nerve palsy
2) Dysfunction of sympathetic pathway leading to paralysis of Muller Muscle
What is Ptosis
Drooping of falling of the upper eyelid
Describe the structures involved in draining tears from surface of the eye
1) Lacrimal Canaliculi –> Drains into the lacrimal sac via sinus of Maier
2) Lacrimal sac is continuous with the nasolacrimal duct that opens into the nasal cavity
3
What is the name of the opening of the lacrimal canaliculi?
Lacrimal Punctum
Traumatic Optic Neuropathy
1) Secodary ischema of Optic Nerve
What does Traumatic Optic Neuropathy affect
1) Optic Nerve
2) Ophthalmic a.
3) Central Retinal a.
What does a Blow-out fracture of the Orbit cause
Zygomatic Bone is displaced medially which causes:
1) Herniation of: Periorbita, Inferior oblique and rectus muscles, or orbital fat pad into maxillary sinus
Le Forte Fractures
1: Transverse Fractures of the Maxillae just above the alveolar Processes
2: Pyramidal-shaped fractures of the maxillae usually involving part of the medial margin of one of the orbits
3) Extensive transverse fractures of the face involving many facial bones and both orbits (panda bear appearance).
- Face has been separated from the base of the skull
Functions of Extraocular Muscles and Innervation
CN III:
1) Superior Rectus~ up and Out
2) Inferior Recuts~ Down and Out
3) Middle rectus~ Adduction
4) Inferior Oblique~ Up and in
CN IV:
1) Superior Oblique ~ Up and In
CN VI:
1) Lateral rectus~ Abduction
What does the superior division of CN III innervate?
1) Levator Palpebrae Superioris
2) Superior Rectus
What occurs when the superior division of CNIII is severed
1) Levator Palpebrae Superioris: Complete Ptosis
2) Superior Rectus: Inability to abduct and elevate the affected eye
What is innervated by the inferior division of CNIII
Medial Rectus
Inferior rectus
Inferior Oblique
Superior Oblique Innervation and clinical
1) Trochlear N. (CN IV)
2) Inability to adduct and depress the affected eye
