Q

What does misalignment of the visual axis cause?

Why?

A

Diplopia

The visual axis misaligning means the images focused on different points in each eye so the brain cant fuse the images together

Q

What are the actions of the extra-ocular muscles when the eyes move?

Why is this important?

A

Agonists contract strongly and antagonists relax

Both eyes must ct simultaneously to ensure the visual axes remain aligned (conugate gaze) to prevent Diplopia

Q

What is the function of superior rectus?
From resting gaze

What its main function?

A

Elevation
Intorsion
Slight adduction

Main function is elevation

24
Q

How can you isolate the main elevation function of superior rectus?

A

Lateral gaze, then look up

25
Q

What is the main function of the inferior rectus?

What are its functions from primary resting gaze?

A

Depresses eye

Depression
Extorsion
Adduction

26
Q

How can you isolate the main depressor function of the inferior rectus?

A

Lateral gaze then look down

27
Q

What is the trochlea?

A

Fascial belly/hook that redirects the superior oblique to insert on the upper lateral sclera

28
Q

What is the function of superior oblique from primary resting gaze?

A

Intorsion
Abduction
Depression when medial

29
Q

How can you isolate the functionality of the superior oblique?

A

When the eye is positioned medially its depressor action dominates

30
Q

What 2 muscles depress the eye?

Which muscle dominates depression when the eye is positioned laterally and then medially?

A

Inferior rectus
Superior oblique

Lateral gaze = inferior rectus

Medial gaze = superior oblique

31
Q

What is the function of inferior oblique from primary resting gaze?

A

Extorsion
Abduction
Elevation when eyes medial

32
Q

How can you isolate the function of the inferior oblique?

A

When the eye is positioned medially the elevator action dominates

33
Q

What 2 muscles elevate the eye?

Which muscle dominates elevation when the eye is positioned laterally and then medially?

A

Superior rectus
Inferior oblique

Lateral gaze = superior rectus

Medial gaze = inferior oblique

34
Q

Go to last slide and fill out the table labelled 3:

A

1 = superior rectus
2 = superior rectus and inferior oblique
3 = inferior oblique

4 = inferior rectus
5 = inferior rectus and superior oblique
6 = superior oblique

35
Q

What is a deviating eye/lazy eye called?

A

Strabismus

36
Q

What is it called when a patients eye is abnormally adducted when in resting gaze?

A

Esotropic

37
Q

If an eye is adducted in resting gaze (esotropic), what muscle is lost/weak?

What nerve innervates this muscle?

A

Lateral rectus

Abducens Nerve (VI)

LR6SO4(R3)

38
Q

Q

How do you test Superior Rectus and Inferior Rectus?

A

SR = abduct eye (laterally) then look up

IR = abduct eye (laterally) then look down

43
Q

Adults (acquired pathology of neuromuscular junction, extraocular muscles or nerves supplying muscles)

46

What are the cranial nerves supplying the extra-ocular nerves that can lead strabismus if they’re damaged?

A

III, IV and VI

47
Q

What is an example of a neuromuscular junction condition that can cause strabismus?

A

Myasthenia gravis

48
Q

What are the clinical features of damage to the trochlea nerve and why?

A

Eye adducted and elevated since VI innervates superior oblique

Vertically displaced images
Diplopia worsens when looking down
Patient may have head tilt

49
Q

What can cause trochlea nerve damage?

A

Born with it
Head trauma
Tumour on trochlea nerve
Diabetic Macrovascular ischamia

50
Q

Why may a patient Tilt their head with Trochlea nerve damage?

A

Supplies superior oblique

SO does Intorsion so eye becomes extorted so patient tilts head to counteract

51
Q

What are the clinical presentations of Occulomotor nerve (III) damage?

A

Ptosis (severe since innervates skeletal portion of Levator Palpebrae superioris)

Blown pupil

Eyes down and out

52
Q

What can cause Occulomotor nerve (III) damage?

A

Micro vascular ischaemia but the pupil is spared

Tumor

Posterior communicatin artery aneurysm

Uncal herniation to due increased Intracranial pressure

53
Q

What are the clinical features of an Abducens nerve injury?

A

Affected eye adducted during resting gaze
Worsening Diplopia on affected eye side horizontal gaze

54
Q

What can cause Abducens nerve injury?

A

Micro vascular ischaemia
Tumor
Raised intracranially pressure

55
Q

Look at the last slide and identify what nerve is damaged on image 5:

A

Trochlea nerve (VI)

56
Q

Look at the last slide and identify what nerve is damaged on image 6:

A

Occulomotor nerve (III)

57
Q

Look at the last slide and identify what nerve is damaged on image 7:
