Peds Flashcards
Embryology - 22 days
Optic primordium appears in neural folds
3 types of XT
- convergence insufficiency
- divergence excess
- primary/idiopathic
Embryology - 25 days
Optic Vesicle evaginates. Neural crest cells migrate to surround vesicle.
Embryology - 28 days
Vesicle induces lens placode
Embryology - 2nd Month
Invagination of optic and lens vesicles
Hyaloid artery fills embryonic fissure
Pigment granules appear in RPE
lateral rectus and superior oblique muscles grow anteriorly
Eyelid folds appear
Retinal differentiation begins
Migration of retinal cells begins
Neural Crest cells of corneal endothelium migrate centrally (corneal stroma follows)
cavity of lens vesicle is obliterated
Secondary vitreous surrounds hyaloid system
Choroidal vasculature develops
Axons from ganglion cells migrate to optic nerve
Glial Lamini cribrosa forms
Bruch’s membrane appears
Embryology 3rd Month
Precursors of rods and cones differentiate
Anterior rim of optic vesicle grows forward and CB starts to develop.
Sclera condenses
Vortex veins pierce sclera
Eyelid folds meet and fuse
Embryology -4th month
retinal vessels grow into RNFL at optic disc Folds of ciliary processes appear Iris sphincter develops Descemets membrane forms Schlemms canal appears Hyaloid system starts to regress Glands and Cilia develop
Embryology 5th Month
Photoreceptor inner segments develop
Choroidal vessels form
Iris stroma is vascularized
Eyelids begin to separate
Embryology - 6th Month
Ganglion cells thicken in the macula
Recurrent Atrerial brances joing the choroidal vessels
Dilator muscle forms
Embryology - 7th Month
Outer segments of photoreceptors differentiate Central fovea starts to thin Fibrous lamina cribrosa forms Choroidal melanocytes produce pigment Circular muscle forms in CB
Embryology - 8th Month
Chamber angle completes formation
Hyaloid system disappears
Embryology - 9th Month
Retinal vessels reach periphery
Myelination of nerve fibers are complete to the lamina
pupillary membrane dissapears
What is the name for the celluar area of retinal proliferation at the leading edge of the vasculature in the ember
Vascular Anlage
Types of abnormal small eyes
Microphthalmos with cyst. - clinically when you open the lids the cyst tends to be infront as a retina
Embryonic Fissure
Closure at 6 weeks - closes inferonasally (This is where we get colobomas
Ocular features of Trisomy 13
Microphthalmia, lens is catatractous, persistant hyaloid primary vasculature with cartilage behind lens, dyspalastic retina.
Die by 6 months.
Part of ddx of intra-ocular cartilege, and retained lens nuclei
Synophthalmia
Associated with Holoprosencephaly and the
Acardi Syndrome
rare genetic malformation syndrome characterized by the partial or complete absence of a key structure in the brain called the corpus callosum, the presence of retinal abnormalities (peripapillary retinal colobomas), and seizures in the form of infantile spasms. Aicardi syndrome is theorized to be caused by a defect on the X chromosome as it has thus far only been observed in girls or in boys with Klinefelter syndrome.
Peters Anomaly
Type 1 – posterior defect - leukoma plus iridocorneal adhesions
Type 2 – leukoma + iridocorneal adhesions + lenticulocorneal adhesions
Peters Plus – above + renal, cardiac, genitourinary, cleft palate.
Pathology - Look for abscence of DM.
RECALL: DM is PAS +’ve and so is the lens capsule, look for both of them.
AD - PAX6
Long term sequelae includes posterior keratoconnus
Tuberous Sclerosis
Astrocytic hamartoma
Pilomatrixoma
Occur in children - tend to be in brow
Limbal Dermoid
Think about Goldenhaar syndrome
Meesman’s Juvinille
Kids with tearing and RCE
PPMD
endothelium behaving like epithelium, snail tracks.
