test 2: lecture 22 orbit Flashcards
The bony cavity that encloses the eyeball with its associated muscles,
blood vessels and nerves.
orbit
compare orbit between dog and horse
dog has incomplete orbital rim
horse have complete bony rim
what nerves come from optic foramen
optic nerve (CN2)
what nerves come from orbital fissure
occulomotor (3)
trochlear (4)
ophthamlic (5)
abducens (6)
what are the 7 extraocular muscles and what do they control
orbital ligament
The orbital ligament completes the dorsolateral portion of the orbit in the dog and cat and covers the —
lacrimal gland
what is red and pink?
medial pterygoid muscle
nasal cavity
what is orange and blue
zygomatic salivary gland
frontal sinus
endorbita (periorbita)
“cone” around the muscles and glands of the eye, blood vessels and optic nerve
4 major clinical signs of orbital disease
Exophthalmos- eye buldging
Globe deviation
Lack of retropulsion - can’t get globe to move
Fundus lesion of globe indentation (retrobulbar mass)
protrusion of the globe out of the orbit caused by an increase in orbital content).
exophthalmos
(buldging eye)
most frequent types of orbital disease
tumor
trauma
abscesses
inflammation/cellulitis
two uncommon causes of orbital disease
zygomatic cyst and mucocele
myositis
— are rare causes of orbital disease
vascular abnormalities (AV fistula, varices)
diagnostic approach to determine orbital disease
history
examine both eyes at a distance
palpate periorbital area
perform complete eye exam
examine oral cavity
extra testing can be FNA, imaging (CT/MRI, ultrasound, xray)
