Proptosis Flashcards
Definition
Forward displacement of the eyeballs beyond the orbital margins
If associated w thyroid disease it is exophthalmos
Infective
Orbital cellulitis
Panophthalmitis
Cavernous sinus thrombosis
Inflammatory
Thyroid eye disease
Idiopathic orbital inflammatory disease
CVT
Wegener granulomatosis
Cystic lesion
Encephalocele
Sinus mucocele
Parasitic cyst
Tumors
Dermoid cyst Vascular lymphangioma Hemangioma Lymphoma lymph Optic nerve glioma Meningioma Isolated neurofibroma Lacrimal gland: Adenoma Carcinoma Eyeball retinoblastoma malignant melanoma Sinus carcinomoe Neuroblastoma Leukemia
Diagnosis
Age of onset
RB, Rhabdomyosarcoma
Dermoid cyst
Optic nerve glioma
Steps
Pseudoproptosis causes
High axial !myopia
Buphthalmos
Retraction of upper lid
Non axial
Tumors of paranasal sinus and lacrimal gland
Palpation
Lymphoid
Dermoid cyst
Neurofibroma
Pulsation
AV fistula
Meningocele
Changes in size
Orbital varices
Visual acuity
Keratopathy
Optic nerve involvement
History
Mode of onset
Acute:
Cellulitis, inflammatory orbital disease random to sarcoma
Chronic glioma
Painful infection inflammation carcinoma
Axial displacement
Axial displacement (retrobulbar lesion) Glioma Mengioma Cavernous hemangioma Thyroid ophthalmopathy
Ocular motility
Restricted
Thyroid
Tumors
Neurology
Periorbital changes
Soft tissues such ad lid and conjunctiva
The fundus may be normal or show disc edema atrophy or optociliary shunt vessels
