ophtha-orbit, eyelids Flashcards
The orbit extends anterior to the tarsus and can thank ligaments forming
Orbital septum
Entire orbital cavity is lined with periosteum called the
Periorbita
Entire orbital contents are completely enclosed except
At palpebral fissure
4 compartments
- Subperiosteal space
- Ms cone
- Peripheral surgical space
- Episcleral space
Space Between periorbita and bone
Subperiosteal space
Space formed by recti ms and their intermuscular mem with tenon’s capsule
Ms cone
Central surgical space
Ms cone
Space between periorbita and ms cone
Peripheral surgical space
Contains orbital fat that serves as cushion for the eyeball
Peripheral surgical space
Space between sclera and tenon’s capsule
Episcleral space
Orbit is pathway of cranial nerves..
CN 2-6
In orbital vein obstruction, what can u find in ophthalmoscope
Venous stasis
Optic atrophy
A difference of __mm between eyes in exophthalmometry is abnormal
> 2mm
Assessment of compressibility of orbital contents
Orbitonometry
Decreased compressibility in orbitonometry indicates
Infiltrative or neoplastic lesion
Increased compressibility in orbitonometry indicates
Vascular tumor
Solid tumors ans endocrine exophthalmos do not yield any degree of compressibility.
True
Symptomatology of orbital pathology
- Proptosis, exophthalmos
- Displacement of globe
- Congestion or edema of lids and conjunctiva
- Bruit and pulsation
Passive forward displacement or protrusion of eyeball from its normal place
Proptosis
Active forward displacement or protrusion of eyeball from its normal place
Exophthalmos
True exophthalmos is less frequent than proptosis
True
Retrodisplacement of globe is seen in..
Horner’s syndrome
Bruit/pulsation is seen earlier in aneurysm, while Bruit/pulsation is a later sign.
Bruit is seen earlier in aneurysm, while pulsation is a later sign.
Orbital edema is characterized by
Axial proptosis
Venous congestion
Restriction of ocular movements
