Orbit And Cavernous Sinus - 4/7 Neal Flashcards
Post-ganglionics from the SCG to the lacrimal gland travel through what nerves?
Deep petrosal joins greater petrosal to form the vidian nerve
Describe the effects of Oculomotor nerve palsy?
Down and out gaze
Dilated pupil
Eyelid must be manually elevated due to ptosis
What motions of the eye are not included in the cardinal signs of gaze?
Straight up/down
Complete ptosis of the eye may be due to a lesion in what muscle?
From what nerve and what type of fibers?
Levator palpebrae Superioris (LPS)
CN 3, GSE
What are the PS responses of the eye?
Pupillary constriction (sphincter pupillae m.) Thickening of the lens for near vision (ciliary m.)
Lesion to the lateral rectus muscle results in what?
superior oblique?
Inability to ABduct the affected eye
When ADducted cannot depress the affected eye
Oculomotor nerve palsy has what 3 clinical signs associated with it?
Down and out eye
Complete ptosis
Pupil dilation
Loss of consensual light reflex is due to the destruction/lesion of what?
Posterior commissure
An aortic or carotid aneurysm can cause what?
What else may cause this symptom?
Decrease in Sympathetic outflow to the dilator pupillae muscle -> therefore pupillary constriction
Pancoast tumor (mass effect)
Lesion to what muscle will cause partial ptosis?
Innervated by what?
These fibers originate where?
Tarsal muscle of Muller
POST-ganglion if Sympathetic fibers
T1
What is anhydrosis?
If anhydrosis is absent, what else can you look for as a clinical Sx?
Lack of sweating
Flushing of the face (dilation of facial blood vessels) to half of the face
What is an Argyll Robertson pupil?
Unreactive to light with
Normal accommodation
What kind of response is accommodation? For what?
What is its associated triad?
Cortically-mediated response for near vision
Convergence of gaze
Pupillary constriction
Thickening of lens
What is a Holmes-Adie Pupil?
Topically slow reacting pupil to light
Normal accommodation
Transient, usually due to infection
What is hyphema?
Damage to what vessel causes it?
Pooling of blood in the anterior chamber of the eye
Arterial circle of iris
Grade 1 hyphema?
3?
Less than 1/3 volume in ant. Chamber
greater than 1/2 volume in anterior chamber
Damage to what vessel causes subconjunctival hemorrhage?
Where is bleeding restricted to?
Deep pericorneal plexus
Subconjunctival tissue or bulbar fascia
Damage to the superficial pericorneal plexus causes what?
Conjunctivitis
What structures are involved in a Le Fort 1 fracture?
Where does the fracture line pass through?
Horizontal maxillary fracture, separates teeth from upper face
Alveolar ridge, lateral nose and inferior wall of maxillary sinus
iMAN
What kind of fracture is Le Fort 2?
Fracture passes through what?
Pyramidal w/teeth at the base and nasofrontal suture at its apex
Alveolar ridge, lateral walls of maxillary sinuses, inferior orbital rim and nasal bones
