inflamm and infection of the canaliculus area. actinomyces is most common chronic cause. sx: tearing, discharge, red eye, mild tenderness over nasal aspect. signs: erythematous pouting punctum, surrounding red skin , mucopurulent discharge expressed, concretions expressed. tx: remove concretions, topical abs, let run course if viral.

116
Q

dacryocystitis

infection of the lacrimal sac. often occurs when there is blockage of the nasolacrimal duct. signs: red, swollen tender area very medially lower lid and extending into the periorbital area. mucous or mucopurulent discharge may be expressed from the punctum. need an oral ab and WCP. watch for complications such as orbital or facial cellulitis. once acute infection is under control. refer for dacryocystorhinostomy.

117
Q

acute dacryocystitis

A

afebrile: rx abs. febrile: hospitalize with iv abs

118
Q

dacryoadenitis

A

infection/inflamm of the lacrimal gland. most often seen in children and young adults. can be acute or chronic. pretty rare. “S” curve eyelid. sx: pain, redness, swelling. signs: unilateral erythema, swelling, tender are over the outer 1/3 of upper lid. tearing, discharge, ipsilateral PA node, temporal chemosis of the conj, fever possibly inc WBC count. tx: bacterial-strong po ab or iv ab if mod to severe. viral-cool compress, tylenol

119
Q

acute dacryoadenitis

A

bacterial: staph. aureus, N. gonorrhea, strept. viral: mono, influenza.

120
Q

chronic dacryodadenitis

A

rule out lacrimal gland mass (tumor) or infiltrative dz (sarcoid, TB, syphilis, leukemia, etc.)

121
Q

congenital NLD (nasolacrimal duct) obstruction

A

last portion of lacrimal system to canalize. sx: persistent tearing, chronic, mild discharge, matting. signs: “wet” eye, crusting in lids, may express discharge from punctum, skin may be irritated, affected area may be red, swollen. tx: digital massage, ab ung if sig discharge, WCP. most spont resolve, NLD probing on unresolved cases.

122
Q

ptosis

A

drooping of the upper eyelid. classifications: neurological aponeurotic, myogenic, mechanical.

123
Q

ptosis: neurological classification

A

CN III palsy: compressive or ischemic, hypotropia, exotroia “down and out”. w/ or w/o pupil sparing. horner’s syndrome:ptosis, myosis, anhydrosis. interruption of sympathetic chain. Marcus Gunn jaw-winking phenomenon: congenital unilateral ptosis w/ retraction of the lid when the pterygoid muscles are stimulated (ie. chewing). misdirection of CN III or aberrant regeneration: congenital or s/p CN III palsy. involunt, nonspecific movement of the upper lid during versions.

124
Q

ptosis: aponeurotic

A

dehiscence, disinsertion, attenuation, stretching, degeneration of the levator aponeurosis. variable degrees of ptosis. gen good levator function. involutional: aging. thinned eyelid above the tarsus. bilateral. worsens as the day goes on. good levator function. postoperative: sec to bridle suture. blepharochalasis: rare, congenital. recurrent episodes of non-pitting edema lasting only days. over time lids become thin, atrophic, wrinkled. young adults.

125
Q

ptosis: mechanical

A

lid edema, tumors, scarring

126
Q

ptosis: myogenic

A

caused by a disorder of the levator muscle itself or at the neural-muscular junction. congenital or aquired

127
Q

ptosis: congenital myogenic

A

congenital ptosis: dystrophy of levator. may also have superior rectus weakness. ptotic eyelid is slightly higher in downward gaze due to poor relaxation. astig and aniso common.

128
Q

blepharophimosis

A

wide intercanthal distance, epicanthus inversus and congenital ectropion. about 50% of cases are amblyopic

129
Q

ptosis: acquired myogenic

A

myasthenia gravis (MSG). ocular signs: ptosis, variable diplopia, Cogan’s lid twitch (look down, look straight-eyelids will overshoot.
