27
Q

Uveal neoplasms are prone to _____ as they enlarge and may contribute to the production of a ____.

A

Uveal neoplasms are prone to hemorrhage as they enlarge and may contribute to the production of a PIFM (preiridial fibrovascular membrane).

28
Q

What is the term used for a proliferation of fibrovascular tissue on the anterior surface of the iris?

A

Preiridial fibrovascular membrane

AKA rubeosis iridis

29
Q

What are the 4 causes of intra-ocular hemorrhage?

A
  1. Trauma
  2. Inflammation
  3. Hypertensive vasculopathy
  4. Neoplasia
30
Q

True of False:

Hypertensive vasculopathy may result in detached retina.

A

TRUE

31
Q

True or False:

Neoplasms cause hemorrhage and PIFM formation, but retinal detachment is not observed.

A

FALSE

Neoplasms, trauma, inflammation, and hypertensive vasculopathy are all causes of intra-ocular hemorrhage, and intra-ocular hemorrhage can ultimately result in retinal detachment.

32
Q

2.

3.

A
  1. Preiridial fibrovascular membrane

  2. Aging
  3. Diabetes mellitus
58
Q

Explain the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus leading to development of cataracts.

A

Diabetes mellitus = hyperglycemia –> glucose gets into cells –> glucose converted into sorbitol –> sorbitol pulls fluid in –> causes swelling and opacity of the lens
