Neuro Review- First Aid- pg 476-479 Flashcards
1
Q
Dx?
- painless opacification of the lens –> decrease in vision
- risk factors = age, smoking, EtOH, excessive sunlight, corticosterioids, galactosemia, galactokinase deficiency, DM, trauma, infection
A
cataract
2
Q
What are the s/s of CNIV (4) damage?
A
eye moves upward, esp. with contralateral gaze and head tilt towards the side of lesion
3
Q
Dx?
- increased ICP –> optic disc swelling (usu. bilateral)
- enlarged blind spot
- elevated optic disc
- blurred margins
A
papilledema
4
Q
cataract
A
- painless opacification of the lens –> decrease in vision
- risk factors = age, smoking, EtOH, excessive sunlight, corticosterioids, galactosemia, galactokinase deficiency, DM, trauma, infection
5
Q
Closed angle glaucoma
A
- acute = emergency!
- increased IOP –> iris pushed forward –> angle closes fast –> impedance of normal aqueous flow thru pupil
- s/s = PAIN, sudden vision loss, halos around lights, rock-hard eye, frontal HA
- DO NOT GIVE EPI!!!
- tx = Pilocarpine, Acetazolamide, Mannitol or glycerol
6
Q
Dx?
- compression from nearby arterial atherosclerosis –> blockage of central or branch retinal vein
- retinal hemorrhage and edema
A
retinal vein occlusion
7
Q
What CN innervates the majority of the eye muscles?
A
CN3 (LR6 SO4 R3)
8
Q
Obliques move the eye in the _____ direction.
A
opposite (O = O)
9
Q
presbyopia
A
sclerosis, decreased elasticity –> decrease in focusing ability during accommodation
10
Q
How do you test the inferior oblique?
A
- IOU!
- to test Inferior Oblique, have the patient look Up
11
Q
Dx?
- acute = emergency!
- increased IOP –> iris pushed forward –> angle closes fast –> impedance of normal aqueous flow thru pupil
- s/s = PAIN, sudden vision loss, halos around lights, rock-hard eye, frontal HA
- DO NOT GIVE EPI!!!
- tx = Pilocarpine, Acetazolamide, Mannitol or glycerol
A
Closed angle glaucoma
12
Q
Dx?
- optic disc atrophy
- cupping
- increased intraocular pressure (IOP)
- progressive peripheral visual field loss
A
glaucoma
13
Q
Open angle glaucoma
A
- painless glaucoma
- primary = unk cause
- secondary = blocked trabecular meshwork from WBCs, RBCs, retinal elements
- risk factors = age, black, fam. hx
- tx = prostaglandin analog (PA- Latanoprost) +/- β-blocker (Timolol) OR carbonic anhydrase inhibitor (Dorzolamide) OR α2 agonist (Brimonidine)
14
Q
What CN innervates the lateral rectus?
A
CN6 (LR6 SO4 R3)
15
Q
eye too short –> light focused behind retina (far-sighted)
A
hyperopia
