Q

How does Diabetes lead to lens opacification?

Q

Two types of DB retinopathy and describe them

A

Non proliferative - damaged capillaries leak blood –> lipids and fluid seep into retina –> hemorrhages and macular edema

Proliferative - chronic hypoxia result in new blood vessel formation with then traction on the retina

30
Q

Arrows in this photo point to?

A

crinkling of retinal tissue seen in retinal detachment

31
Q

What causes retinal vein occlusion?

A

compression from nearby arterial atherosclerosis

32
Q

What are the signs of retinal vein occlusion?

A

Retinal hemorrhage, venous engorgement, edema in affected areas

33
Q

Which two layers of the retina separate in retinal detachment?

A

Seperation of the rods and cones layers (neurosensory layer) from the outer pigmented epithelium

34
Q

Why the vision loss in retinal detachment?

A

Due to degeneration of photoreceptors

35
Q

Retinal breaks are more common in patients with a history of what?

A

high myopia or history of head trauma

36
Q

First symptoms that indicate retinal detachment?

A

“flashes” and “floaters” (from posterior vitreous detachment) and monocular loss of vision - like a “curtain drawn down”

37
Q

secondary causes of retinal detachment?

A

retinal breaks, DB traction, inflammatory effusions

38
Q

This sign is seen in what disease that isn’t congenital?

A

Central retinal a occlusion

Cherry red spot also seen in Neiman Pick and Tay Sachs

39
Q

Painless, progressive vision loss beginning with night blindness (rodsaffected first). (Inherited)

A

Retinitis Pigmentosa

40
Q

Bone spicule–shaped deposits around macula

A

Retinitis Pigmentosa

41
Q

Enlarged blind spot and
elevated optic disc with blurred margins, is due to?

A

Papilledema, Inc ICP

42
Q

Loss of red reflex in children due to?

A

in children include retinoblastoma, congenital cataract, toxocariasis.

43
Q

What is a Marcus Gunn pupil?

A

DEC bilateral pupillary constriction when light is shone in affected eye relative to unaffected eye

44
Q

How does one test for Marcus Gunn pupil?

A

Swinging flashlight test

45
Q

Causes of Horner syndrome by neuron?

A

ƒ 1st neuron: pontine hemorrhage, lateral medullary syndrome, spinal cord lesion above T1 (eg, Brown-Séquard syndrome, late-stage syringomyelia)
ƒ 2nd neuron: stellate ganglion compression by Pancoast tumor

ƒ 3rd neuron: carotid dissection (painful)

46
Q

To test the left superior oblique and inf oblique musc, which direction should pt look?

A

Obliques go Opposite (left SO and IO tested with patient looking right)

47
Q

Causes of CN III damage?

A
  • Ischemia –> pupil sparing (motor fibers affected more than parasympathetic fibers)
  • ƒ Uncal herniation –> coma
  • ƒ PCom aneurysm
  • ƒ Cavernous sinus thrombosis
  • ƒ Midbrain stroke
48
Q

Sx of CN III motor damage

A

ptosis, “down-and-out” gaze.

49
Q

If PANS is also affected along with motor inn in CN III, what added sx do you see

A

diminished or absent pupillary light reflex, “blown pupil” ( along with ptosis and down and out gaze)

50
Q

What disease lead to motor or PANS affected CN III

A

If just motor - usually vascular disease, if PANS, those fibers are on periphery and affected by compression (PComm, uncal herniation)

56
Q

Meyer loop is responsible for what part of retina? and what vision loss?

inferior –> Pie in the sky ( upper quadrantic anopia)

57
Q

Meyer loop

  1. which lobe
  2. what vision defect
  3. what blood supply
A
  1. temporal
  2. upper quadrantic anopia
  3. MCA
58
Q

you lesion the optic tract, what visual defect?

A

Homnoymous hemianopia
**** optic tract is in frontal lobe is supplied by MCA

59
Q

What else can cause Homnoymous hemianopia?

A

LGB complete lesion

60
Q

Meyer loop loops around?

A

Inferior horn of lateral ventricle

61
Q

Sx of cavernous sinus syndrome

A

—presents with variable ophthalmoplegia, dec corneal sensation, Horner syndrome and occasional decreased maxillary sensation.

62
Q

Cavernous sinus syndrome caused by?

A

2° to pituitary tumor mass effect, carotid-cavernous fistula, or cavernous sinus thrombosis related to infection.

63
Q

Why do you see optic neuritis in MS?

A

CN II is only nerve myelinated by oligodendrocytes

64
Q

What eye gets nystagmus in R-MLF lesion in L gaze?

A

L
Explanation: Abducting eye gets nystagmus (CN VI overfires to stimulate CN III)

65
Q

When you say this patient has R INO, it means what?

A

R eye paralyzed

66
Q

Bilateral INO seen in

A

MS, stroke

67
Q

what neurocutaneous dz is associated with optic gliomas?

A

NF type 1

68
Q

clinical symptom of lesions in frontal eye fields?

A

eyes look toward lesion

69
