The orbit Flashcards
which bone forms the roof of the orbit?
frontal
which bone forms the floor of orbit?
zygomatic
which nerves pass through the superior orbital fissure?
CN III, CNIV, CNV1
eyelids - layers
skin
connective tissue
muscle
orbital septum
tarusus
conjunctiva
Tarsus - function
eyelid support (superior and inferior)
preseptal cellulitis features
- infection of skin anterior to orbital septum
important to differentiate between orbital cellulitis
orbital cellulitis features
infection posterior to orbital septum
pain on movements of eye that are restricted
bulging of eye
threatens vision
risk of infection spread to cavernous sinus or meninges of brain
conjunctivitis features
also known as pink eye
inflammation of membrane covering posterior surface of eyelid and eyeball
eyelids - sensory innervation
CN V1 and CN V2
Eyelids - arterial supply
external carotid (facial, transverse facial, superficial temporal)
and internal carotid (supratrochlear, supraorbita, lacrimal)
lacrimal gland parasympathetic supply
pregangioèic fibres from facial nerve from CN VII nervous intermedium
travel in greater petrosal n the nerve of pterygoid canal
arrive in pterygopalatine ganglion
postganglionic fibres hitch huge to zygomatic branch of CN V2 to reach lacrimal gland
lateral rectus innervation
CN VI - abducens
Superior oblique muscle innervation
CN IV - trochlear
which muscle is responsible for raising the superior eyelid?
levator palpebrae superioris
