Q

Direct light vs Consensual vs Near Reflex

A

DIRECT light reflex - Constriction of the pupil that was shined with light
✓ CONSENSUAL light reflex - Constriction of the other pupil without direct shining of light
✓ NEAR reflex - Constriction of the pupil without stimulation of light but when you focus at near objects

Q

Convergence of visual axis and associated constriction of pupil
 When you’re looking at a far object and then suddenly you focus on the near object, your eyes will converge; this is accompanied by automatic constriction of pupil

Q

Increased accommodation and associated constriction of pupil
 Your lens will change in shape, especially hen you’re younger than 40 years old without the need for eyeglasses, they can see clearly at far and can see clearly at near, and that’s because of your accommodation; there is constriction of your ciliary muscles that will change the shape of your lens; part of this reflex is the constriction of pupil.

Q

how to do the near reflex test?

A
  • Instruct the patient to look at the distant target
  • The examiner holds up a target containing fine detail approximately 25cm from the patient
  • Ask the patient to fixate the near target and look for pupil constriction
  • Note the speed of the constriction and the roundness of each pupil

17
Q

• The most common site of an intracranial aneurysm causing third nerve palsy is:

A

o The posterior communicating artery

o Internal carotid artery and basilar artery

18
Q

The origin of Inferior Oblique is the

A

Medial orbital wall

19
Q

Structures passing through the annulus:

A
  1. Oculomotor nerve (Superior an Inferior Divisions)
  2. Abducens nerve
  3. Optic nerve
  4. Nasociliary nerve
  5. Ophthalmic artery
20
Q

What if there is tumor inside the annulus of Zinn? Everything is compressed; When there is inflammation, there will be edema and swelling thereby causing compression; we call it the

A

Orbital Apex Syndrome.

21
Q

inserts closest to the limbus and is therefore susceptible to injury during anterior segment surgery

A

Medial rectus

22
Q

Paralysis of Lateral rectus due to damage to Abducent nerve leads to

A

Medial Squint

23
Q

Damage to Trochlear nerve cause paralysis of superior oblique muscle causing

A

diplopia while looking downwards.

24
Q

Most common cause of acute optic neuropathy in over 50 years of age

• It is due to ischemia of anterior part of optic nerve head
• Involvement of posterior ciliary artery circulation
• Considered in differential diagnosis of sudden vision loss
• Visual field loss always present
 Not all the visual field, but part of the visual field.

A

Anterior ischemic optic neuropathy

25
Q

2 types of AION

A

Arteritic and non arteritic

26
Q

arteritic vs non arteritic AION

A 
• Arteritic
o Most serious type
o Mainly due to giant cell arteritis
• Non-arteritic
o Most common
o Consist of all other cause than GCA
27
Q

PATHOGENESIS:
• Occlusion of short posterior ciliary artery ->
• Decreased blood supply to optic nerve head ->
• Infarction of optic nerve head
RISK FACTORS:
• Multifactorial
• Nocturnal arterial hypotension play very important role
 Parang sa CVA din”

which pathogenesis and risk factors?

A

Anterior AION

28
Q

• Sudden painless monocular loss of Visual Acuity
• Visual field defect usually inferior altitudinal but can be central, paracentric, arcuate
• Dyschromatopsia

• Frequently associated with splinter hemorrhages.

A

Topical - Brimonidine

32
Q
  • Uncommon
  • Caused by retrobulbar optic neuritis ischemia (supplied by pial arteries)
  • Diagnosed only after exclusion of other retrobulbar optic neuropathy
A

PION

33
Q

• Sudden painless unilateral or bilateral vision loss
• Relative Afferent Pupillary Defect
• Absence of optic disc edema
• Optic atrophy ensues in 4-6 weeks
 After 1 month or 2 months, the optic disc becomes pale and that is atrophy already”

clinical features of?

A

PION

34
Q

is defined as “a condition causing a relatively rapid onset of visual failure, in which no evidence for a toxic vascular or compressive etiology can be discovered and where local retinal lesion have been excluded.”
• It is characterized by inflammation, demyelination and neurodegeneration

A

Optic neuritis

35
Q

Used when Optic Disc appears normal

A

Retrobulbar Neuritis

36
Q

when Optic Disc or Nerve Head is inflamed

A

Papillitis

37
Q

Used for inflammation of both intravascular Optic Nerve & Peripapillary Retina

A

Neuroretinitis

38
Q

Inflammatory involvement of Optic Nerve Sheath without inflammation on Nerve.

A

Optic Perineuritis

39
Q

When unilateral or bilateral Optic Nerve is involved. Cranial nerves are normal.

A

Acute Demyelinating Optic Neuritis

40
Q

SYMPTOMS:
• Loss of Central Vision & pain in and around the affected eye, increased by eye movements.
• Loss of visual acuity is noted in majority
• Vision loss is typically abrupt, over several hours to several days. Loss of Color vision
• Progression for few days to a week
• Degree of Visual loss varies from Minimal reduction to complete blindness
• Loss of portion of peripheral field on one side
 Basically this is what you call hemianopsia”
• Mostly unilateral, bilateral in children
• Photopsias, may occur. Flashing Black Squares, Flashes of lights, showers of sparks.

A

PION

41
Q
  • Visual Acuity is reduced in almost all.
  • Varies from Mild Reduction to No Light Perception
  • Contrast Sensitivity & Color Vision is impaired in All.
  • Visual Field loss is Mild to Severe. May be Diffuse or Focal
  • Can involve Central or Peripheral Field
  • Afferent Pupillary Defect in All (RAPD)
  • Disc Swelling. Optic Disc is Slightly or Markedly Blurred
  • Disc Swelling sometimes very severe and mimic Papilledema
  • Degree of Disc Swelling does not correlate with loss of Visual Acuity
  • Peripapillary Hemorrhages are less common
  • Some have normal optic disc (Retrobulbar Neuritis)
  • Fellow Eye may show abnormalities in Acuity, Color Vision and Disc Appearance
