Q

Both brown’s syndrome and IO palsy will present with deficient elevation in adduction

How do you tell them apart (list 5)?

A

Brown: (opposite points for IO palsy)

  1. positive forced duction test (gets stuck on the pully)
  2. V pattern (M Browne has a Vaginal)
  3. none or minimal SO muscle overaction (the SO muscle inself is fine)
  4. no torsion (SO works)
  5. negative head tilt test (SO works)

* think about it. In IO palsy because the IO doesn’t work there is often overaction of the SO leading to A pattern, intorsion of the eye and a positive tilt test. In Brown syndrome its the restriction from the trochlea-SO complex

Q

Goldenhar syndrome- what is it?

A

Goldenhar syndrome (aka oculoauriculovertebral syndrome)

limbal dermoids, hemifacial microsomia, ear deformities (including preauricular appendages), upper eyelid colobomas (memo: where we put a “gold” weight), and vertebral antomalies

limbal dermoids are hamartomatous lesions which can cause astiamatism and ambylopia

Excsision can be difficult becuase they may involve Bowman layer and cornea stroma.

Q

What are the Garcia and Harris criteria?

A

Criteria for “expectant observation with IV abx” for SPA in patients <9 if the following criteria are ABSENT

  1. Large SPA
  2. nonmedial location
  3. presence of frontal sinusitis
  4. suspicion of anaerobic subperiosteal infection (eg presence of gas)
  5. recurrence of SPA after drainage
  6. evidence of chronic sinusitis (eg nasal polyps)
  7. acute optic nerve or retinal compromise
  8. infection of dental origin (b/c the presence of anaerobes would be anticipated)

* reason for age <9 is b/c the risk of refractory pathogens (eg anaerobes) increases dramatically after this age

what gene causes congenital glaucoma?

A

GLC = glaucoma

A/B/C = order in which genes were names

so GLC 3A/3B/3C are the congenital ones

Q

Latent nystagmus

  • what is the waveform
  • what direction is the fast phase
  • commonly seen in what conditions?
  • what way would the head turn when the right eye is occluded?
A

Waveform: exponential DECREASE in the slow phase velocity

Direction of fast phase is toward teh eye that is NOT occluded

Congenital esotropia and DVD

When the right eye is occluded the nystagmus is beating to the left. Therefore the child would want to look to the RIGHT with a turn of his head to the LEFT.

Q

Explain how to do the parks-bielschowsky 3 step test? Give the example of a right superior oblique palsy and how this would look for each step of the test.

A
  1. identify the eye higher in primary gaze (ie right hypertropia see below)

SR IO IO SR

IR SO SO IR

  1. identify more hypertropic eye in left and right gaze (ie a right SO which would be worse in left gaze below)

SR IO IO SR

IR SO SO IR

  1. Identify the more hypertropic eye in left and right head tilt (ie a right SO which would be worse in right head tilt)

SR IO IO SR

IR SO SO IR

BINGO:

SR IO IO SR

IR SO SO IR

31
Q

Juvenile X-linked retinoschisis

A

clevage of the retina at the NFL (as opposed to the senile retinoschisis which is in the OPL)

B waves reduced (a waves normal because photoreceptors are unaffected)

Macula involved early showing microcysts and radiating retinal folds

No leakage on FA

Vitreous veils and strands, can lead to VH.

32
Q

What are the primary and secondary actions of all the EOMS (rules)?

A

easy to remember with these rules

a) primary action of IR and SR are depression and elevation respectively
b) the primary actions of the oblique muscles are always some type of TORSION
c) use the mnemonic “SIN-RAD” to remember that the superior muscles IN-tort and the recti muscles AD-duct
d) the secondary actions of the obliques is OPPOSITE to their names (ie IO elevates)
e) the teritiary actions of these mucles is either adduction or abduction

What are the most common causes in children, adults, and elderly pts?

A
  1. Paralysis of upgaze
  2. defective (voluntary) convergence
  3. pupillary light-near dissociation
  4. Convergence-retraction “nystagmus” (pt asked to track a downward-rotating OKN drum which would normally elicit as attempted upward saccard - instead the pt will have convergence and retraction of both eyes since there is co-contraction of all horizonal EOMS)
  5. eyelid retraction (“collier’s sign”)

Children- pinealoma and congenital aqueductal stenosis

Young adult women - MS

Elderly pts - midbrain stroke

36
Q
