Orbit Flashcards
What are the 7 bones of the orbit
SFLMEPZ
- Sphenoid
- Frontal
- Lacrimal
- Maxillary
- Ethmoid
- Palatine
- Zygomatic
What is a blow out fracture
Floor of the orbit is broken and the globe recedes inward, usually to blunt/penetrating trauma
What is the orbital septum…where is it located and what is its significance
A fibrous membrane that becomes continuous with the periosteum of the orbital margins. It is crucial in preventing the spread of infection into the orbit.
The nasolacrimal sac conveys lacrimal fluid from the _____ to the _______
lacrimal sac to the inferior nasal meatus
What is the origin, insertion, and innervation of the levator palpebrae superioris
Origin: lesser wing of sphenoid
Insertion: Superior tarsus and skin of upper eyelid
Innervation: Superior division of CN III
What is the primary action of the levator palpebrae superioris
Elevates upper lid
What is the origin, insertion, and innervation of the superior rectus
Origin: Common tendinous ring.
Insertion: Antero superior half of eye
Innervation: Superior division of CN III
What is the primary, secondary, and tertiary action of the superior rectus
Primary: Elevation
Secondary: Intorsion
Tertiary: Adduction
What is the origin, insertion, and innervation of inferior rectus
Origin: Common tendinous ring
Insertion: Antero inferior half of eye
Innervation: Inferior division of CN III
What is the primary, secondary, and tertiary action of inferior rectus
Primary: Depression
Secondary: Extorsion
Tertiary: Adduction
What is the origin, insertion, and innervation of medial rectus
Origin: common tendinous ring
Insertion: Anterio medial half of eye
Innervation: Inferior division of CN III
What is the primary action of medial rectus
adduction
What is the origin, insertion, and innervation of lateral rectus
Origin: Common tendinous ring
Insertion: antero lateral half of eye
Innervation: CN VI (abducens)
What is the action of the lateral rectus
abduction
What is the origin, insertion, and innervation of superior oblique
Origin: Body of sphenoid
Insertion; sclera deep to superior rectus
Innervation: CN 4 (trochlear)
What is the primary, secondary and tertiary action of the superior oblique
Primary: Intorsion
Secondary: Depression
Tertiary: Abduction
What is the origin, insertion, and innervation of the inferior oblique
Origin: Antero medial floor of orbit
Insertion; sclera deep to lateral rectus
Innervation: Inferior division of CN III
What is the primary, secondary and tertiary action of inferior oblique
Primary: Extorsion
Secondary: Elevation
Teriary: Abduction
SO, IO, and Lateral rectus hold the eye ____
abducted
H test for the SO and IO muscles:
- Patient directs eye ______
- Patient looks ________ to test the IO
- Patient looks _______ to test the SO
- medially
- UP
- Down
Superior, inferior, and medial recti hold the muscles
adducted
H test for the SR and IR muscles:
- Patient directs eye in question _______
- Patient looks ____ to test the SR
- Patient looks _____ to test the IR
- laterally
- UP
- Down
RAD SIN stands for?
Recti adduct, superiors intort
When eye is adducted, SO _____eye and IO ___ the eye
depresses the eye and IO raises the eye
When eye is abducted, SR ____ the eye and IR _____ the eye
raises, depresses
What type of deviation do you get with a CN III palsy and what is the common etiology
Eye is down and out with dilated pupil and complete ptosis - suspect aneurysm in PCA
