Q

what abnormal changes occur in an orbital disease

A
  1. inflammation- redness/swelling/warmth/pain/loss of function
  2. mass effect- displacement- something growing out of orbit
  3. infiltrative changes- impairment of ocular movements or neurosensory function
  4. vascular changes; venous dilation, exudation, heommahrage, proptosis

Q

how do u examine an orbital px

A

OBSERVE: check their facial contours obis not their makeup contours, symmetry, eyelids, peri-ocular structures, changes in colour of the skin
VA
Examine- conjuctiva, eyelids, leavtor function, pupils for thie symmetry and reactions
VF
Ocular motility
other investigations such as MRI. X-rays, CT scans

Q

what do u have to differentially diagnose orbital cellulitis with-

A

pre-septal cellulitis- which lacks the opthalmegia, severe pain, vision loss and fever.
also with tumours, thyroid eye disease, allergic reaction

22
Q

Pseudoenophthalmos:

A

unilateral ptosis, Horner’s syndrome, contralateral exophthalmos, buphthalmos or eyelid retraction

23
Q

Orbital trauma

A

Penetrating Blow-out fracture Foreign body

24
Q

Blow-out fracture

A

force of a non-penetrating object bigger tun the orbital entrance- e.g. ball/ dashboard
u see bruises, endothalmos, muscle restrictive movements, pain, dipopia, numbness in cheek and teeth areas

25
Q

summary of stuff that can happen to the eyelids

A

Disorders of the eyelashes The itchy eyelid
Lid swelling
Rashes
Infections
Blepharitis and other inflammations Common eyelid lumps and bumps Ptosis
Ectropion and entropion
Excessive blinking

26
Q

Tricahiasis

A

misdirection of the eyelashes- growing into cornea
secondary to inflammation or trauma
can give pain, foreign body sensation
can result in corneal erosions, ulcers, ocular irritation and pannus
Tretament- epilation, electrolysis, laser, surgery
difffernetialy diagnose with entropian, distichiasis, epiblepharon

27
Q

itchy eyelid?

A

contact dermitits - Soreness
Burning Itching
we see -Well defined Scaling- Erythema -Thickening- Oedema -Hyper-/
hypopigmentation

28
Q

WHY could u get contact demritits

A
Eye cosmetics 
Topical medicines 
Metals
Nail polish 
Hair dye 
Soap 
Water
29
Q

HOW would u diagnose contact dermatitis

A

u take detailed H+S
ask px to bring all products to test on skin
PATCH TEST

30
Q

Treatment for contact detmitits

A

Avoid the substance duh
coll compress
cortiocsteroids
topical immunomodulators

31
Q

atopic eczema

A

simialr to contact dermitis

in childhoood

32
Q

atopic dermatitis

A

normally top of lids

constantly rubbed by back of hands

33
Q

complication of atopic dermatitis

A
blephorirtis
keratoconus
uveitis
subcapsular catract
rd
keratoconjuctivitis
34
Q

lid swelling-

A

due to systemuc, dermatologic and ocular conditions
most likely due to renal/endocrine reasons
or could be due to ageing, tiredness
use faso constructers. or treat underlying cause, or avoid the factor that may be causing this

35
Q

differential diagnosis of the swollen eyelid

A

Contact dermatitis Atopic dermatitis Rosacea Angioedema Blepharitis Cellulitis
Herpes simplex HZO
Tumours Systemic disease

36
Q

Seborrheoic dermatitis

A
redness and greasy scaling
sebacious glands
dandruffy
lid margins- usally- couldd lead to blepharitis
u need lid hygiene
37
Q

rosacea

A
mostly middle aged, fair women- multifactoria-
over-active facial blood vessels
v common
red papules and pustules, swelling
erythema, telnagictasis
cheeks, nose, chin and forehead
frwquent flushing
ocular involvemnt- MG, chalazion, uvietis, episcleritis

DIFFERNTIALY DIAGNOSIS with- sebhoric dermatitis, lupus, syphilis, periorbital dermatitis, tb, carcinoid syndrome

38
Q

Ocular rosacea

A
MGD
blepharitis
chalaia
corneal infiltrates- ulceration?
conjuctivitis
episcleritis
iritis
39
Q

how would u manage rashes

A

avoid extreme temps, spicy food, excessive sunlight, alcohol
orl tetracycline,
lid hygiene, ointments

Q

herpes zoster

Mr. HUTCHINSON has herpes and has something on his nose

A

rash around eyelid
opghalmic division of trigenimal nerve?
nasocilliary nerve- hutchinsons sign- crusting on tip of nose
skin atrophy- depigmentation and thinning- could lead to tissue destruction

41
Q

symptoms and signs

A

pain
burning
unilateral
vesicles, crusting

use antivirals, neuralgia- therefore pain killers

42
Q

herpes simplex

A
cold sores
grouped vesicles
atopic suffered more prone
tiny grouped blisters with erythema that pustules and cause a conjuctival inflammation which then crust form ulcers then heal and scar..
Stain using rose bengal
don't usually invoke cornea
-
Eczema herpeticum
