Orbit, Eyelids and Lacrimal system 2 Flashcards
Most common orbital fracture
orbital floor fracture
orbital rim often spared
Orbital Floor Fractures
presents with
- ecchymosis
- emphysema (air in orbit can increase IOP)
- subconjunctival hemorrhage
- enopthalmosis (sinking of eye)
Orbital Floor Fractures Tx immediately if
muscle entrapment of oculocaardiact reflex
Orbital Floor Fractures
tx early if
- doplopia
- hypodlobus
- large fracture
- enopthalmos
Pediatric Orbital floor fractures high risk of
trap door fractures
Pediatric Orbital floor fractures symptoms
- n/v
2. pain with EOM
Pediatric Orbital floor fractures: white eyed blow out
- do not appear to have significant trauma
- kids have cancellous, rubbery bone that can entrap inferior rectus m. or other tissue
- treat with surgery– implants to prevent re-herniation
pediatric orbital tumors
- Teratoma
- Capillary hemangioma
- dermal cysts
- lymphangioma
- rhabdomyosarcoma
Most common malignant pediatric tumor of orbit
rhabdomyosarcoma
Teratoma
- Congenital tumor of 2 or more germinal layers
2. Proptosis
Teratoma treatment
with subtotal exenteration
removal of all the eye as well as adjoining structures
Most common benign tumor of children
capillary hemangioma
Capillary hemangioma treatment
- Monitor vision
- Treat strabismus, amblyopia
- Local or systemic steroids
- Excision
Capillary hemangioma appears
- Appears at 1-2 wks in age and enlarges for 6-12 months
- Usually decrease after 1 yr
- Appear superficially, red and dimpled
- Appear deep, blue enlarging mass
Lymphangioma
- Within 1st decade of life
- During infections, lymph or venous structures swell and put pressure on eye
- In conjunctiva, eyelid, orbit, oropharynx or sinus
