Q

What are the three types of anophthalmia?

A
  1. Primary anophthalmia: when the primary optic vesicle fails to grow out from the cerebral vesicle at the 2mm stage2. Secondary anophthalmia: gross abnormality of the anterior neural tube3. Consecutive anophthalmia: secondary degeneration of the optic vesicle

A

Laterally on the globe and subjunctivally

25
Q

How are dermolipomas usually treated

A

Observation, occasionally incomplete anterior resection

26
Q

In the 20% of TED patients actually requiring surgery, what is the order of surgery type that should be performed?

A

Orbital decompression, strabismus, eyelid

27
Q

On average, how long is the active phase of TED?

A

32
Q

What is the only rectus muscle that only has one arterial supply?

A

Lateral rectus

33
Q

What is a distinguishing difference of meningioma compared to fibrous dysplasia?

39
Q

What is the most common primary intraocular tumor in children?

A

retinoblastoma

40
Q

What 2 bones comprise the roof of the orbit?

A

Frontal and lesser wing of the sphenoid

41
Q

What 2 bones comprise the lateral orbital wall?

A

Zygomatic and greater wing of the sphenoid

42
Q

What 4 bones comprise the medial orbital wall?

A

Ethmoid, lacrimal, sphenoid, and maxillary

43
Q

What 3 bones comprise the floor of the orbit?

A

44
Q

What structures pass through the superior orbital fissure?

A

CN III, IV, VI, and V1; sympathetic fibers, and major venous drainage to cavernous sinus

45
Q

Uncommonly subperiosteal abscesses can be observed instead of drained such as when the following are ABSENT: SPA is large, presence of frontal sinusitis, acute retinal/optic nerve damage, etc. What in regards to age and location are more convincing to observe?

A

If the age is LESS than 9 and if located in the usual medial location

46
Q

What is the usual inciting organism causing necrotizing fasciitis?

A

Group A beta-hemolytic strep

47
Q

Pretibial myxedeam and acropachy (soft=tissue swelling and periosteal changes affecting the distal extremities) portends a poorer or better prognosis in TED?

48
Q

What structures pass through the inferior orbital fissue?

A
  1. V2 (maxillary branch of CN V)2. inferior orbital vein3. branches of the sphenopalatine ganglion (not as important to memorize)
49
Q

What is the most common EOM injured in cosmetic eyelid surgery?

50
Q

It is better to perform an optic nerve sheath fenetration at the time of active symptoms or not in a patient with pseudotumor cerebri?

A

At the time of active symptoms as the increased CSF pressure would cause engorgement and better visualization
