Q

When proteins are suspended in the anterior chamber that become evident when a narrow, bright, and focused light source is directed at the eye, what is going on?

A
  • *Aqueous Flare**
  • this is pathognomonic sign of uveitis*
24
Q

Orbital neoplasia*,
orbital cellulitis/abscess**,
zygomatic salivary gland mucocoele,
MMM,
extraocular myositis,
and retrobulbar hemorrhage

are all common causes of what?
(d/t orbital volume imbalance)

A

EXOPHTHALMOS!
* & ** = most common 2 conditions in k9

**=working dogs & stick chewers

25
Q

How do we treat exophthalmos d/t orbital neoplasia?

A
  1. Globe sparing- most often palliative
    * radiation, Sx exploration, ChemoTx*
  2. Globe removal:
    Enucleation
    or
    Exenteration (Enucleation + removal of all orbital contents)
26
Q

3 common mechanisms for enophthalmos

A
  1. Orbital volume imbalances
  2. Active globe retraction [ocular pain]
    (skeletal mm.**—>retractor bulbi- **CN VI)
  3. Passive globe retraction
    (Smooth mm./periorbital cone—>Horner’s Syndrome)
27
Q

Horner’s Syndrome is considered sympathetic denervation to the eye and what else?

A

also denervation to ocular adnexa!

*third eyelid protrudes bc it’s passively elevating on its own*

28
Q

T or F:
Neither microphthalmos nor phthisis bulbi are usually painful.

A

Truth.

29
Q

Define proptosis

A

anterior displacement of the globe such that the eyelids are caught behind the equator of the globe

lids contract, constricts venous return—>swelling
*usu involves minimal trauma*

30
Q

Brachycephalic dogs,
< 3 extraocular mm torn,
and positive direct and consensual PLRs

Are considered to indicate what type of prognosis in proptosis?

A

A GOOD ONE!!

(Better than that of cats & dolichocephalic k9s)

31
Q

With regard to proptosis complications, which extraocular m.is shortest and most easily torn, resulting in strabismus?

A

medial rectus

(CN III- also innervates D,V, and Ventral Oblique mm.)

32
Q

What do we call the conical bony structure that is part of the adnexa and contains the eyeball and periorbital cone?

A

bony orbit

33
Q

Term for eyelashes (cilia) which emerge from the Meibomian (tarsal) glands

A

Distichia

34
Q

Term for hairs growing from normal skin that reach the corneal and/or conjunctival surface. Technically, entropion causes this.

A
35
Q

Term for cilia that protrudes thru the palpebral conjunctiva.
typically cause severe intermittent pain and cause corneal ulceration

A
36
Q

CN responsible for sensory protection of eyelid skin?

A

CN V: maxillary and ophthalmic brr.

37
Q

Dysfunction of which muscles will cause ptosis?

A

levator palpebrae superioris (CN III: general somatic efferent)

& Muller’s mm. (General visceral efferent)

(both open upper eyelid)

38
Q

Which muscle closes the eyelids like a zipper and what CN is it innervated by?

A
orbicularis oculi 
CN VII (general somatic efferent)

dysfunction —> lagophthalmos

39
Q

What’s the holding layer for surgical eyelid closure?

A

the fibrous and glandular layer of the eyelid
(AKA THE TARSUS!)

40
Q

What category of entropion is related to ocular pain that stimulates active globe retraction?

A

Blepharospasm associated entropion

41
Q

What are some causes of blepharospasm associated entropion?

A

chronic ocular surface pain-
from keratitis, conjunctivitis or both

42
Q

What’s the permanent correction for Entropion?

A

Modified Hotz-Celsus
*rolls out the eyelid*

43
Q

4 common causes of Lagophthalmos

A
  1. Breed variation
  2. Exophthalmos
  3. Buphthalmos
  4. CN V or CN VII dysfunction
44
Q

CN ___ closes the eyelid whereas CN ___ opens it

A

VII;

III

45
Q

Which CN provides sensory input to the eyelid and is easily detected by abnormal palpebral reflex?

A

CN V (Max & ophthalmic brr.)

46
Q

Eyelid abnormality via ptosis presenting with mydriasis is most likely indicative of what type of lesion?

A

CN III

*less common than a sympathetic pathway lesion tho - feature of Horner’s Syndrome)

47
Q

Most common etiology of Horner’s Syndrome?

A

idiopathic

*post-ganglionic; resolves in 6-8 wks*

48
Q

What is the aggressive Tx for trichiasis?

A

facial fold resection
or
medial canthoplasty

49
Q

If distichia (ciliar that emerge from meibomian glands) is causing corneal/conjunctival dz, how would we treat?

A

cryotherapy (cryoepilation)

*this is also how we treat ectopic cilia!*

50
Q

T or F:
ectopic cilia is hair/cilia protruding thru palpebral conjunctiva and is commonly seen in brachycephalic breeds

A

TRUE:
commonly causes severe pain and corneal dz

51
Q

What are 3 common factors to consider in canine eyelid tumors?

A
  1. Irritation
  2. Size
  3. Location
52
Q

Treatment options for k9 eyelid tumors

A
  1. Debulk and cryotherapy
  2. Complete excision

*always submit for histopath!*

53
Q

4 key concepts in understanding closure of eyelid margin defects

A
  1. Limited debridement
    ​2. Closure must be perfect (figure 8 suture pattern at margin)
    ​3. Avoid full thickness suture bites
  2. Tarsus is holding layer
54
Q

If we don’t treat a prolapsed gland of TEL, what could happen

A

chronic conjunctivitis

KCS

55
Q

2 common techniques for treating prolapsed TEL to replace the gland into its normal position
