Q

clip of optic chiasm leads to what change in vision? what is this called?

A

bilateral hemianopia…loss of outer fields in both eyes

20
Q

what is a common lesion that causes bilateral hemianopia? where is issue with bilateral hemianopia?

A

pituitary lesion…in optic chiasm

21
Q

clip of right optic tract leads to what change in vision? what is this called?

A

loss of left visual field in left eye and left visual field in right eye

called left homonymous hemianopia

22
Q

what is homonymous hemianopia?

A

cut in optic tract, lose opposite field of side of lesion on both eyes

23
Q

what usually causes homonymous hemianopia?

A

cut in optic tract

24
Q

after the LGN, what are the two tracts to the primary visual cortex?

A

Meyer loop and dorsal optic radiation

25
where does meyer loop go through on way to visual cortex?
temporal lobe
26
where does dorsal optic radiation go through on way to visual cortex?
parietal lobe
27
meyers loop carries information about what portions of the visual field? and hits the visual cortex in what portion?
upper visual fields, but in cortex is on the lower portion
28
a lesion in the right meyers loop leads to what visual changes?
loss of left upper field quadrant in both eyes
29
what is a lesion in meyers loop called?
upper quadrantinopia
30
what are two causes of meyers loop lesions?
right temporal lesion and MCA ischemia
31
if lesion occurs in the left dorsal optic radiation, where is visual field loss? what is this called?
right lower quadrantinopia...right lower visual fields of both eyes
32
what are two lesions that can lead to lower quadrantinopia?
parietal lobe lesion and MCA ischemia
33
what are changes seen in left sided occipital lobe lesion? what is this called?
right visual field loss with macular sparing in both eyes...called right hemianopia with macular sparing
34
what are two lesions that lead to hemianopias with macular sparing?
occipital lobe lesions and PCA ischemia
35
what is central scotoma? what is another name for this?
macular degeneration...loss of only central vision
36
in pupillary reflex, where does signal from CNII go when we have light shined in eye?
to pretectal nuclei
37
where does the pretectal nuclei activate after it receives input from CNII that light is bright in an eye?
bilateral edinger westphal nuclei
38
what does edinger westphal nucleus do after stimulation from pretectal nuclei in the pupillary reflex?
leads to parasympathetic output bilaterally to constrict pupils
39
the parasympathetic output to constrict the eye starts with what nuclei?
edinger westphal nuclei
40
where does edinger westphal nuclei synapse in parasympathetic tract to eye?
ciliary ganglia
41
ciliary nerves in the parasympathetic tract go to what muscle in the eye and cause what?
sphincter pupillae muscle and lead to constriction of the pupil
42
what is pupillary constriction called?
miosis
43
what is pupillary dilation called?
mydriasis
44
what is the first nuclei in sympathetic process to dilate the eye?
hypothalamus to thoracic lateral horn
45
what is second nuclei in sympathetic process to dilate the eye?
thoracic lateral horn to superior cervical ganglion
46
what is third nuclei in sympathetic process to dilate the eye?
from superior cervical ganglion along the internal carotid to the pupillary dilator muscles
