Lecture 5/6- Eyelids Part 1: A and B Flashcards
which muscle is the main eyelid protractor, with the primary function of narrowing the palpebral fissure and closing the eye lids. ‘it contracts medially to pump tears toward the ducts. Innervated by CN VII, orbital portion is largest part - wink, preseptal portion is for winking and blinking
Orbicularis Oculi
What part of the orbicularis oculi is resposible for horizontal movement of eyelid in order to spread tear film and pump tears toward the duct?
Pretarsal portion
size range of the palpebral fissure
12-30 mm
name for the crease of the upper lid that represents the cutaneous insertion of fibers of the levator anoneurosis into the preseptal orbicularis oculi, 8-10 mm above lashes
Superior palpebral crease
What does it mean if there is no superior palpebral crease, here the fibers of the levator palpebrae aponeurosis insert into the preseptal orbicularis oculi
No crease = no LP superioris function - as in blepharoptosis
name for the crease below the lower lid, 4-5 mm below lower lashes
inferior palpebral crease
Thin, fibrous, multilayer sheath that separates the eyelids from the orbit - functions as an anatomical barrier to protect orbit from infection, heme, edema
orbital septum
What is unique to asian populations in terms of crease position and orbital septum anatomy of upper lid
Creases in lower position than caucasians
Upper lid orbital septum can be fused to the anoneurosis as it inserts into the tarsus - as high as the superior border of the tarsus, or as low as the lashes line = lower or absent UL crease
Term for upper eyelid sin laxity that increases with age, causing a hooding effect - not the same as ptosis, can be severe, causing mechanical ptosis with or without superior visual field defect or entropion
Dermatochalasis - can interfere with visual fields if hood droops over the pupil, and entropion i the hood causes the lashes to turn inward against the globe
prominent lower lids from orbital fat, malar bags, hypertrophy, or overriding orbicularis oculi, only can be treated by blepharoplasty
“Bags” under the eye
What could be a secondary condition developed after an elderly person has surgery to remove the excess skin present in dermatochalasis?
eye lid could not be able to close - lagophthalmos
Retractors of the upper eyelid
Levator palpebrae superior and superior tarsal muscle of Muller
Lower eye lid retractors
capsulopalpebral fascia and inferior tarsal
disease with weakness of tarsus elastin fibers
Floppy Eyelid syndrome
Arteries supplying upper eyelid that branch from the ophthalmic artery, which branches from ICA
Lacrimal, Supraorbital, Supratrochlear, Dorsal nasal
What artery supplies the superficial arterial system (facial and angular arteries) that supplies the lower lid
External Carotid artery
Artery supplying lacrimal gland, conjunctiva, lateral upper eyelid, terminates as lateral palpebral artery
Lacrimal artery
Artery supplying upper eyelid, scalp, forehead, levator muscle, periorbita, diploe of frontal lobe
Supraorbital artery
Artery supplying skin of superior medial aspect of the orbit, forehead, and scalp
Supratrochlear artery
Artery supplying nose bridge skin, lacrimal sac, terminates as medial palpebral artery
Dorsal nasal artery
Eye lid venous drainage review
drains through tributaries of ophth vein, and superficially through superficial temporal and angular (superficial frontal and supraorbital and supratrochlear)
Vein with dual drainage - deep by superior opth, and superficial by anterior facial vein
Angular vein
Vein that empties into common facial vein, that empties into external jugular
Angular vein
Which lymphatic system drains the skin and orbicularis oculi
superficial system
which lynphatic system drains that tarsi and conjunctiva, upper lid, later half of LL and lateral canthus
Deep system - into the preauricular and deep parotid nodes
Nerves of the eyelids
3, 5, 7
Viral infections causing skin lesions along a V1 dermatome, and a lesion on the tip of the nose - Hutchison’s sighn - with associated kerato uveitis. Typically, involvement of nasociliary nerve is seen.
Herpes Zoster Ophthalmicos
glands at the coruncula and within eyebrow hars, associated with periocular skin vellus - thin hairs
Sebaceous - holocrine glands
modified sebaceous glands at tarsal plate, each has a central duct with multiple acini to synthesize lipids for outer layer of tear film
Meibomian glands
modified apocrine sweat glands - open into a lash follicle, are more in lower lid
Moll Glands
Modified sebaceous glands associated with Lash follicles
Zeiss glands
glands at eyelid skin, not confined to lid margin, unlike apocrine glands
Eccrine sweat glands
units that comprise hair follicles together with their sebaceous glands
Pilosebaceous units
Thickening of the keratin layer appearing as white flaky skin, can be a feature of benign and malignant epithelial tumors
Hyperkeratosis
thickening of the squamous cell layer
acanthosis
Alteration of the size, morphology, and organization of cellular components of a tissue. increased cell growth and change in histological features
Dysplasia
Keratinization other than on the surface
Dyskeratosis
Retention of nuclei into the keratin layer
Parakeratosis
dysplastic changes throughout the thickness of the epidermis and marked hyperkeratosis
Carcinoma in Situ
Epicanthal folds that are symmetrically distributed between upper and lower lids, most common type in caucasions
Palebralis
epicanthal folds that originate in the medial aspect of the upper lids and extends medially, most common in orientals
Tarsalis
epicanthal folds that start in lower lids and extends upwards to the medial canthal areas, associated with blepharophimosis
Inversus
Epicanthal fold that arise above the brow and extends downwards to the lateral aspect of the nose
Superciliaris
Wide distance between the medial canthi due to long medial canthus tendons - not hypertelorism which is wide separation of orbits
Telecanthus- associated with Waadenburg, Mobious, Treacher-Collens, Rubinstein - Taybi, Turner Syndromes
A patient comes in with epicanthal folds starting at the lower lids and extending to medial canthus, and long medial canthus tendons, short palpebral aperture, barely any nasal bridge, poor levator function, and lateral extropion of LL. Patient also has Amblyopia. Diagnose, Treat, How does it occur?
- Blepharophimosis Syndrome
- Surgery for epicanthus inversus and telecanthus, then bilateral frontalis suspensions
- Rare Autosomal Dominant, caused by mutations in FOXL2 gene on chromosome 3
