ALL
Muscle and nerve of the lacrimal pump system
pretarsal orbicularis oculi muscle
CN VII
Features of this syndrome
telecanthus (widended intercanthal distance)
epicanthus inversus (fold of skin extending from the lower to upper eyelid but most prominent in the lower eyelid)
severe ptosis
90% of eyelid malignancies are this type
BCC
Location of occurance of BCC
lower eyelid (50%-60%)
medial canthus (25%-30%)
upper eyelid
lateral canthus
Inheritance pattern of blepharophimosis syndrome
AD
Inheritance of myogenic congenital ptosis
AR
Typical presentation
Keratoacanthomas (KAs)
growth over 4-8 weeks, spontaneous regression over several months
Hypoplasia of the orbit, eyelids, and adnexal structures
anophthalmia
Retrobulbar injection results in
incyclotorsion and depression of eye
Trochlear nerve (IV) intact incyclotorsion and infraduction
45 yo M pain right orbit x 9 months. Next step
incisional biopsy of lacrimal gland
lacrimal gland with calcification and adjacent bony thinning/erosion
adenoid cystic carcinoma
prevents reflux of tears from the lacrimal sac into the canaliculi
valve of Rosenmuller
Tx for microphthalmia
Socket expansion techniques SOON AFTER BIRTH
Next step
full-thickness biopsy and possible conjuncitival map biopsies
sebaceous adenocarcinoma
Asian with mechanical entropion of the lower eyelid margin
epiblepharon
lower eyelid pretarsal muscle and skin ride above the lower eyelid margin to form horizontal fold of tissue that causes cilia to assume vertical position
Arteries that supply blood to the bulbar conjunctiva
anterior ciliary arteries
arise from muscular branches of the ophthalmic artery
differenitates hemifacial spasm from benign essential blepharospasm
hemifacial spasms persist in sleep
lacrimal gland biopsy should avoid these structures
lacrimal ducts of palpebral lobe.
Only biopsy orbital lobe
characteristic of cicatricial entropion of the lower eyeld
posterior lamellar shortening
large flat eyelid lesion with irregular borders and varied pigmentation. Dx and next step?
superficial spreading melanoma
total surgical excision with margin evaluation
unsafe to dissect from upper face to lower face arcoss anterior zygomatic arch because risk for damaging this structure
temporal branch of facial nerve
Treatment to eliminate epiphora in patients with total obstruction at common canaliculus
conjunctivodacryocystorhinostomy (CDCR)
Next step
thickening of left MR muscle and tendon = myositis
Cytoplastmic staining pattern (c-ANCA)
Antinuclear antibody (ANA)
ACE
Lysozyme
IgG4
anterior lamellar deficiency
cicatricial ectropion of lower eyelid
unilateral involvement of eyelid protractor muscles that persist at night
hemifacial spasm
bilateral involvement of eyelid protractors with s/s abate at night
benign essential blepharospasm (BEB)
Contraindication for laser resurfacing techniques for eyelid periocular skin surface irregularities or rhytids (skin rinkles)
significant uncorrected lower eyelid laxity
collagen vascular disease (SLE)
unrealistic expectations
Direction globe displaced when child with congenital orbital cleft cries
inferolaterally
herniation of intracranial contents into orbit (meningoceles , encephaloceles, meningoencephaloceles)
MC location medial canthus near bridge of nose
protrusion of meninges through congenital cleft
meningocele
protrusion of brain tissue through congenital cleft
encephalocele
protrusion of meninges + brain tissue through congenital cleft
meningoencephalocele
Removal of BCC from lacrimal sac or NLD, when should lacrimal outflow system be reconstructed
5 years to minimize tumor spread
Causative source of orbital cellulitis in child
single organism
Haemophilus
Causative source of orbital cellulitis in adult
polymicrobial
staphylococcus or streptococcus species
5-7 year old sudden onset and rapid evolution of proptosis. Diagnosis and types?
embryonal (MC)“everyone” 80% of cases, 95% 5-year survival
alveolar (worst)“awful” 9% of cases, 65% 5-year survival
pleomorphic (LC, best prognosis)“please” 97% 5-year survival
Botryoid
Hughes tarsoconjunctival flap contraindicated in young children because..
risk of amblyopia
requires 2-4 wees of occlusion
Location with lowest risk of systemic lymphoma
conjunctiva
greater for orbital
highest for eyelid
frequent cause of acute spastic entropion
intraocular surgery
Treatment for tearing with absent lacrimal system
conjunctivodacryocystorhinostomy (CDCR)
repair large lower defect involving 50% of eyelid
modified Hughes procedure
tissue layer that the temporal (frontal) branch of CN VII is found
temporoparietal fascia
results from failure of the choroidal fissure to close in the embryo
