STRUCTURAL (CONGENITAL/ACQUIRED) Flashcards
What are the three orbit disorders under structural:
(AMC)
-Anophthalmia, Microphthalmia, Craniosynostosis
it is the total absence of tissues of the eye
Anophthalmia
True or False: there are four types of anophthalmia
False; there three types of anophthalmia
What are the three types of Anophthalmia?
primary anophthalmia, secondary anophthalmia, consecutive anophthalmia
A type of anophthalmia that is rare and bilateral
Primary Anophthalmia
Fill in the blanks: _________ _________ occurs when the optic vesicle fails to grow out from _________ ________ at ___mm-____mm stage of _____________ development
Primary Anophthalmia; Cerebral Vesicle; 2mm to 7mm; embryonic
It is a type of Anophthalmia that is caused by the complete suppression or grossly anomalous development of the entire anterior portion of the neural tube
Secondary Anophthalmia
it is a type of Anophthalmia that presumably results from an atrophy or secondary degeneration of the optic vesicle
Consecutive Anophthalmia
True or False: Secondary Anophthalmia is caused by the complete suppression or grossly anomalous development of the entire posterior portion of the neural nerve
False; It is a type of Anophthalmia that is caused by the complete suppression or grossly anomalous development of the entire ANTERIOR portion of the neural TUBE
Which is true about the Consecutive Anophthalmia
a. presumably results from an atrophy or secondary degeneration of the optic nerve
b. it is caused by the complete suppression or grossly anomalous development of the entire anterior portion of the neural tube
c. it is rare and bilateral
d. All are true
e. None of the above
Answer: None of the above
Which is true about the Consecutive Anophthalmia
a. presumably results from an atrophy or secondary degeneration of the optic vesicle
b. it is caused by the complete suppression or grossly anomalous development of the entire anterior portion of the neural tube
c. it is rare and bilateral
d. All are true
e. None of the above
Answer: A
Much more common than anophthalmia
: Microphthalmia
Choose what describes the microphthalmia the best:
a. rare compared to anophthalmia
b. The presence of a small eye that arises after birth.
c. one eyeball is abnormally small
d. All of the above
e. None of the above
E
True or False: Microphthalmia is the presence of a small eye that arises before birth. Either one or both eyeballs are abnormally small
True
Eye conditions associated with Microphthalmia:
(CCM)
-coloboma, cataract, microcornea
When the normal tissue around the eye is missing
:Coloboma
A cloudy area in the lens of the eye
:Cataract
When the clear outer layer at the front of the eye is small and unusually curved
: microcornea
All of these are causes of Microphthalmia, except:
a. Changes in genes
b. Taking certain medicines during pregnancy (Isotretinoin and Thalidomide)
c. Coming into contact with harmful things in the environment
d. caused by the complete suppression or grossly anomalous development of the entire portion of the neural tube
D
It is a medication that is used to treat severe acne
Isotretinoin
