Lid Anatomy Flashcards
What nerve controls orbicularis muscle?
CN 7
What nerve controls levator palpebrae superioris?
CN III
Mueller is controlled by sympathetic
What glands are on tarsal plates?
Zeiss and approx 30
How many lashes on upper and lower lid?
150 lashes on upper and 100 on lower
What are the 2 sebaceous glands
zeiss and meibomian
What are the sweat glands?
moll
What is blepharospasm?
involuntary bilateral spasm orbicularis
(where eyes shut and can’t open them)
females develop in 60’s
has 3:1 ratio
What is Tx for blepharospasm?
botox every few weeks to decrease muscle response. This is because lids can close while driving
What is blepharoclonus?
where patients blink a lot.
secondary to inflammation
What is Tx for blepharoclonus?
treat inflammation
What is myokymia? (think of David when muslce twitches)
eye lid twitches (fasiculation of orbicularis)
refractory period is messed up
jumping eyelid
What is etiology of myokymia?
lack of sleep, stress, medication, excessive alcohol consumption
What is Tx for mykymia?
want to prolong refractory period, cool compress, topical anti-histamine, take quinine.
Quinine found in tonic water
What is Pseudograefe?
aberrant regeneration of CN III
follows CN III palsy
elevates eye and it goes in because of MR and LFP fibers
eye will elevate when it is adducted.
What is Entropion?
Lower lids turns inward
congenital
can be confused with epiblepharon
What is most common age related involutional disorder?
entropion
treatment for entropion?
surgery, epilation, glue
What is ectropion?
outward rolling of lid where cornea and conjunctiva exposed
What are the causes for ectropion?
cicatricial or mechanical
mechanical = burns, dermatoses, tumor, trauma
What is Tx for cicatricial/mechanical ectropion?
steroids , surgery
what causes paralytic ectropion?
bells palsy. Can be induced by botox
What is etiology of congenital ectropion?
associated with other lid problems
Tx: taping, lubrication, surgery
What is nocturnal lagophthalamos?
incomplete lid closure
can be diagnosed from NaFl from tonometry
patients have inferior morning SPK
Who has lagophthalmos more kids or adults?
adults because of decreased tear production
What are the 4 types of lagophthalmos?
nocturnal, orbital, mechanical, paralytic?
What is orbital lagophthalmos?
caused by graves ophthalmopathy
what is mechanical lagophthalmos?
occurs because of facial or ocular scarring?
What is paralytic lagopthalmos?
caused because of paralysis of CN 7 because of Bell’s Palsy
cannot close lids properly
vascular association
you must rule out stroke for Bell’s Palsy
the flat side is the diseased side
What is Tx for paralytic lagophthalmos?
lubrication, taping, tarsorrhaphy ( where you stitch the lid shut)
what is congenital ptosis?
autosomal dominant
in down gaze the lid is higher than normal
what is blepharophimosis?
autosomal dominant characterized by severe bilateral ptosis lateral ectropion telecanthus (wide bridge) normally the epicanthal folds in asian children cause a slight entropian but with this condition, the epicanthus is inverted and fold the opposite way.
what is horners?
ptosis, miosis, anhydrosis
congenital or aquired
What is congenital horners?
associated with heterochromia
what is acquired horners?
no heterochromia
what is pre-ganglionic horners?
associated with chest trauma and tumors
what is post-ganglionic horners?
will be benign and NOT have a loss of sweating
What are 3 tests for horners?
cocaine 10% solution, hydroxyamphetamine, PE (phenylephrine)
How do you use cocaine?
will dilate normal eye but not horners
how do you use hydroxyamphetamine?
will not dilate post ganlionic because not enough norepinephrine
how do you use phenylephrine?
elevates side affected by muellers
IMPORTANT TO RULE OUT MALIGNANCY
what is myotonic dystrophy?
characterized by muscle wasting
patient has mournful expression
will have difficulty relaxing muscle once contracted
Ptosis, Cataract, Retinal changes: retinopathy, near light reflex dissociation, low IOPs, similar to bells, but it is bilateral.
what is myastenia gravis?
loss of receptors giving rise to muscle fatigability and weakness
90% will present with ocular signs
what is the DX for myastenia gravis?
tensilon test
use edrophonium will improve ptosis
what is the Tx for myastenia gravis?
steroids, immunosuppresives, anticholinesterases, thymectomy
What is floppy eyelid syndrome?
obese middle age men get this where lids are easily everted and cornea drys
associated with sleep anea and keratoconus
What is Tx for floppy eyelid syndrome?
lid taping or surgery
What is Dermatochalasis?
bilateral conditions in elderly patients
redundancy of the skin
What is the Tx for dermatochalasis?
can send for blepharoplasty
affects visual fields
What is a lid coloboma?
deals with children and the embryonic tissue that didn’t close
can get a cleft lid
What is the Tx for lid coloboma?
surgical repair for 3 - 6 months of age
What is cryptophtalmia?
skin is over the eyelids (fusion)
no Tx
what is the Tx for ablephara and Micorblephron?
Ablepharon = absence of the eyelid
Microblepharon = shortening of the eyelid
Tx: surgery
What is a contusion?
ecchymosis = black eye
can cause a hemorrhage that can cause IOP rise that can damage sight
What are the 3 common types of thermal burns?
flame, flash and scalding
What happens if you get a chemical burn from acid?
it is self limited and you will get a very red eye
What if you get alkali in your eye?
can cause greater destruction due to capillary closure.
IF EYE TURNS WHITE = BAD!!!
What is the Tx for burns?
irrigation for 1 - 2 mins with neutral irrigation
5 - 10 minutes of non-neutral
then you place anti-biotic and cycloplege the pt
