OPTHO ALL UNDERLINED Flashcards
Preseptal cellulitis has NO PROPTOSIS
NO restricted ocular motility
NO PAIN with EOM
And NO Optic neuropathy
Compare this with Orbital cellulitis
As they both presents with a swollen eye/ eye lid 2/2 staph and strep
But cellulitis has Proptosis and Restricted EOM with Pain
What is the Treatmetn for orbital cellulitis
IV! ABX
( Vanc and ampicillin/ Sulbactam)
x72 hrs then Oral for 1 week
A child under 5 years old that presents with Leukocoria
Retinoblastoma
Can be unilateral, bilateral or multi focal
How do you do an eye exam for corneal abrasions
Slit lamp and evert the eye to look for foreign bodies
Know that alkali burns are worse than acidic burns
When should you start treatment for chemical injury to the eyes
BEFORE EVALUATON!
Copious irrigation for at least 30 minutes
Wait 5 – 10 minutes after irrigation stopped, then check pH in the fornices using litmus paper
Continue irrigation until neutral pH is achieved
Topical anesthetic (proparacaine)
Evert lids to flush out retained chemicals
IOP should be assessed
What must you do to look for foreign bodies of the cornea
EVERT the lids
CAPITILIZED IN THE SLIDES
If a pt has a high speed hx with foreign body of the corneal
What imaging should you order
CT scan !
A pt that presents with a detetacble penetration site of the eye with an irregular shaped pupil
With a trans illumination defect
(red reflex when there shouldn’t be)
Intraocular foreign body
(Pupil peaked to the point of injury)
UNDERLINED: CT SCAN!!
Who should lid lacerations be treated by
Refer to oPHthomology
If:
It involves canalicular system
Associated with ruptured globe/intraocular foreign body
Involves levator (ptosis present)
Visible orbital fat (indicates penetration of orbital septum)
Extensive tissue loss (more than 1/3 of lid)
A pt presents with an irregularly dilated pupil that reacts poorly to light
(Responds with SLOW accommodation)
Typically unilateral and mc in women who also have a loss of DTRs
Think
Adíes tonic pupil
2/2 Denervation of parasympathetic supply to the sphincter pupillae and the ciliary muscle
Confirming diagnosis
- Instill 0.125% pilocarpine in both eyes
- Adie’s pupils will constrict (hypersensitive)
- Normal pupils will not constrict
A pt presents with a small, slow reacting or not at all reacting to light pupil
However does respond to accommodation (light near dissociation)
Think
Argyle Robertson Pupil
Assoc with syphillis
Is papilledema bilateral or unilateral
Bilateral
Sign of underlying D/o with pressure in or on the nerves of the brain ( mass, or CSF flow)
What must the Nuero imaging be to do a LP
NORMAL!
A pt presents with a unilateral swollen disc with flame shaped hemmorages
What is the DDx
Thing Ischemic Optic Neuropathy
(AAION if over 60 -GIANT CELL Arteritis)
(NAION if under 60)
What is the ESR in giant cell arteritis
ESR is greater than 50 (in red on the slides)
An older pt presents with sudden painless vision loss
That often starts unilaterally then progresses to bilateral
Think
NAION or AION
Also look for Headache, Scalp tenderness, Jaw Claudication
R/o TIA
HTN, DM, and Anemia
A female pt presents w/ unilateral vision loss with orbital eye pain with EOM developing over Days
Frontal HA and globe tenderness
Think
Optic neuritis, may be 1st sign of MS
Should you start optic neuritis pts on oral steroids/>?
NO!!
Start on IV pulitile steroids
Oral can increase incidence rates
What is LR6SO4
Lateral Recutus CN6
Sup. Oblique CN4
All others are controlled by CN III
(SR, IR, IO, MR, Levator palpebrae, and pupillary sphincter)
A pt presents with an eye that is “down and out”
What CN palsy
III
A pt with a down and out and DILATED pupil =
BAD!!
MRI to R/o aneurysm
A pt has unilateral hypertrophic in primary and left gaze
And the inferior oblique overreacts w with up and left gaze
What palsy?
CN IV
A pt with a unilateral left gaze defect, in that one eye can look left but the other eye remains fixed
. what CN palsy
CN VI
A pt with a stroke and now CN VI palsy should get what surgery
Strabismus surgery for chronic stable deviation
What is the blood supply to the inner retina?
The outer retina?
Inner: Central retinal artery
Outer: The choroid
Supplies the phot receptors
What is the Tx for Giant Cell arteritis
High dose steroids
