Q

what are the two functions of CN2

A

optic nerve

vision: relays visual signal from retina to CNS

pupillary light reflex: Some CN II fibers leave optic tract before synapsing in LGN to synapse in pretectal nucleus, providing afferent input to PLR

* Neuroanatomical pathway not completely understood
* Does not test vision, but positive suggests normal retinal, optic nerve function in opaque eyes, when PLR, menace response cannot be evaluated

CN7: facial : close eyelid, PARA to lacrimal glands

Q

menace response is what nerves

A

Learned response, NOT a reflex!
CN II and CN VII

  • Reflex closure of palpebral fissure, turning head away
  • Tests vision! Requires intact visual cortex
  • Ability to blink
  • Present at 10-12 weeks in puppies, kittens; 5-7 days in foals, calves

CN7: facial : close eyelid, PARA to lacrimal glands
CN2: optic nerve: sight and PLR

21
Q

how to test vision

A
  • Tracking moving objects (cotton ball for dogs, laser pointer for cats)
  • Maze test
  • Visual placing response
  • Menace response

PLR, dazzle reflex do not assess vision, but help to evaluate integrity of neuroanatomical pathways

22
Q

how does swinging flashlight test work

A

can tell if direct and indirect PRL is working

if you shine light in one eye the other eye should constrict at same time

positive= no direct, swing and then contricts (tells you first retina isn’t working)

marcus gunn sign

23
Q

what part of the nerve is damaged with vision loss and direct PRL/dazzle deficit and no indirect PRL to other eye

A

afferent arm

24
Q

which part of the nerve for no vision loss, one eye always responds (PRL and dazzle) the other eye does not

A

efferent arm

25
Q

what part of the pathway damaged with vision loss, PRL and dazzle are normal

A

cortical

26
Q

afferent arm defect

A

vision loss
no PLR/dazzle
no indirect PLR to other eye

27
Q

efferent arm defect

A

No vision loss
one eye always responds (PLR & dazzle)
other eye does not

28
Q

cortical defect

A

vision loss
PLRs & dazzle are NORMAL

29
Q

where are lesions with blind patient with normal PLR

A

lesion after afferent fibers of PLR have diverged to midbrain – lesion in LGN, optic radiation, cerebral cortex
* Cerebral edema (trauma, seizure), inflammatory (GME), metabolic (hypoglycemia, hepatic encephalopathy), toxic

30
Q

blind patient with abnormal PLRs will have lesion

A

in pathway common to vision and PLR – retina, optic nerve, optic chiasm
* Unilateral: retinal detachment, glaucoma, retrobulbar abscess/neoplasia
* Bilateral: same as unilateral, plus SARD, pituitary tumor, intracranial neoplasia

31
Q

visual patient with abnormal PLR will have lesion —

A

lesion localized to oculomotor n. after exited forebrain; will have three
signs:
* Internal ophthalmoplegia: fixed, dilated pupil caused by loss of parasympathetic innervation to iris sphincter
* External ophthalmoplegia: Ventrolateral strabismus caused by loss of innervation to dorsal, medial, and ventral recti and ventral oblique muscles
* Ptosis of upper eyelid caused by loss of innervation to levator palpebrae muscle

32
Q

what are some non neurologic diseases that can cause abnormal PLR

A
  • Iris atrophy, hypoplasia
  • Glaucoma
  • Anterior uveitis
  • Ocular pain
  • FeLV
  • Prior treatment with parasympatholytic agents
33
Q

Unequal pupil size

A

anisocoria

34
Q

what can cause mydriasis

A

‣ Drugs (atropine)
‣ Iris atrophy
‣ Fear (esp. cats)
‣ Complete retinal atrophy
‣ Optic neuritis
‣ Optic nerve hypoplasia
‣ Glaucoma
‣ Third nerve palsy

35
Q

what are some things that can cause miosis

A

‣ Uveitis
‣ Drugs (pilocarpine)
‣ Horner’s syndrome
‣ Organophosphate toxicity

36
Q

horner’s syndrome

A

Loss of sympathetic innervation to eye and adnexa

37
Q

clinical signs of horner’s syndrome

A

Miosis
Enophthalmos: shrunken eye
Ptosis (loss of innervation to Muller’s muscle in upper eyelid)
Protrusion of the third eyelid (passive in dogs, due to loss of sympathetically mediated smooth-muscle tone in cats

loss of sympathetic innervation to eye and adnexa

37
Q

clinical signs of horner’s syndrome

A

Miosis
Enophthalmos: shrunken eye
Ptosis (loss of innervation to Muller’s muscle in upper eyelid)
Protrusion of the third eyelid (passive in dogs, due to loss of sympathetically mediated smooth-muscle tone in cats

loss of sympathetic innervation to eye and adnexa

38
Q

1st order neuron for sympathetic innervation of eye is by —

A

central

begins in hypothalamus, moves through brain stream to throacic spinal tracts

39
Q

D evelopment of — lesion unlikely in absence of thalamic, brainstem, myelopathic deficits

A

1st order (central)

40
Q

2nd order neuron in sympathetic innervation

A

starts in gray matter of first 3 throacic spinal cord segments, continues through ramus communicans, travels through thorax with sympathetic trunk, passes through but does not synapse with cervicothoracic and middle cervical ganglia

41
Q

2nd order sympathtic innveration to the eye is close to —

A

brachial plexus and carotid artery

42
Q

3rd order sympathetic innervation to the eye

A

path of 3rd order neuron not well defined

axons exit cranial cervical ganglion, form plexus around carotid and become nasociliary nerve, long ciliary NERVE (which supplies iris dilator and blood vessels of uveal tract, smooth muscle of periorbita)

43
Q

3rd order sympathetic nerves to the eye are close to

A

Middle ear, guttural pouch – but path of 3rd order neuron not well defined

44
Q

which neurotransmitter is released by sympathetic innervation to the eye

A

norepinephrine

binding to α-adrenergic receptors

45
Q

what happens when you give phenylephrine to horner’s syndrome

A

eye with horner’s syndrome will have denervation hypersensitivity

normal eye takes 20 mins for dilation

nerve does not release NE on its own, cells try to find NE by increasing receptors on its membrane, when you give a little NE they have very big reaction

46
Q

how to test for horner’s syndrome

A

Phenylephrine 1% ophthalmic solution: direct sympathomimetic

Quicker than normal mydriasis if lesion in post- ganglionic neuron because of denervation hypersensitivity (increased number of receptors or lack of degradation of neurotransmitter in face of insufficient neurotransmitter)

47
Q

most common cause of horner’s in dogs

A

idiopathic

head trauma

48
Q

most frequent cause of horner’s in cats

A

trauma
then ear issues or idiopathic
