35
Q

Glaucoma etiology?

A

Optic disc atrophy with cupping + elevated IOP usually

36
Q

visual manifestation of glaucoma?

A

Progressive peripheral visual field loss

37
Q

What is cupping?

A

Thinning of outer rim of optic nerve head.

38
Q

open-angle glaucoma RF’s

A

1) increased age
2) AA race
3) family history

39
Q

Which glaucoma type is more common in US?

A

open-angle

40
Q

Cause of secondary open-angle glaucoma

A

1) blocked trabecular meshwork from WBCs (uveitis), RBCs (vitreous hemorrhage), retinal elements (retinal detachment).

41
Q

primary closed angle glaucoma pathophys

A

Enlargement or forward movement of lens against central iris (pupil margin) leads to obstruction of normal aqueous flow through pupil –> fluid builds up behind iris, pushing peripheral iris against cornea and impeding flow through trabecular meshwork.

42
Q

Secodnary closed angle glaucoma pathophys

A

Hypoxia from retinal disease induces vasoproliferation in iris that contracts angle.

43
Q

causes of secondary closed angle glaucoma

A

1) DM

2) vein occlusion

44
Q

chronic closed angle closure glaucoma pathophys

A

often asymptomatic with damage to optic nerve and peripheral vision.

45
Q

acute closure glaucoma pathophys

A

Increased IOP pushes iris forward –> angle closes abruptly.

46
Q

acute closure glaucoma presentation

A

very painful, red eye, sudden vision loss + halos around light + rock-hard eye + frontal headache

47
Q

Drug contraindicated with acute closure glaucoma

A

epinephrine (mydriatic effect)

48
Q

How to differentiate allergic, bacterial, viral conjunctivitis?

A

Allergic –> itchy eyes and bilateral

Bleeding secondary to choroidal neovascularization.

A

ranibizumab

64
Q

non proliferative diabetic retinopathy pathophys..

65
Q

treatment for non proliferative diabetic retinopathy pathophys..

A

blood sugar control

66
Q

proliferative diabetic retinopathy pathophys..

A

Chronic hypoxia results in new blood vessel formation with resultant traction on retina.

Q

proliferative diabetic retinopathy treatment

A

1) peripheral retinal photocoagulation
2) surgery
3) anti-VEGF

68
Q

Retinal vein occlusion pathophys

A

Blockage of central or branch retinal vein due to compression from nearby arterial atherosclerosis.

69
Q

Retinal vein occlusion presentation on fundoscopy

A

Retinal hemorrhage and venous engorgment. Edema in affected area.

70
Q

retinal detachment pathophys

A

Separation of neurosensory layer of retina (photoreceptor layer with rods and cones) from outermost pigmented epithelium –> degeneration of photoreceptors –> vision loss.

71
Q

normal function of pigmented retinal epithelium

A

Shields retina from excess light and supports retina.

72
Q

Causes of retinal detachment

A

1) retinal breaks
2) diabetic traction
3) inflammatory effusions

73
Q

CN XI lesion

A

1) Weakness turning head to contralateral side of lesion (SCM). Shoulder droop on side of lesion (trapezius).
2) Left SCM contracts to help turn the head to the right.
