Q

what are the clinical implications of a pituitary tumour in regards to eye sight

A
  • optic nerves enter the skull meet & form the optic chiasm that lies just superior & anterior to the pituitary gland/ sella turcica.
  • Due to the vicinity of both structures, some pituitary tumours can press onto optic chiasm causing visual field issues anda symptom which is frequently expressed by patients as tunnel vision

Q

what happens when the central retinal artery sometimes become occluded

A

Can be due to either transient or permanent causes
Occlusion tends to lead to loss of vision
- Temporary case = amaurosis fugax - painless temporary loss of vision in the affected eye
- there can also be permanent loss of vision due to occlusion

Q

what are the 3 main hemianopias

A
  • injury affecting the optic nerve on one side. the sight to that eye will be lost, the other eye is still working fine.
  • an issue at the optic chiasm, and this is where we are coming back to the pituitary tumour pressing on the optic chiasm, and the resultant tunnel vision. lateral side of each visual field is lost if information can no longer pass across the optic chiasm = bitemporal hemianopia
  • a lesion to the optic tract on the left side, and this means that the parts of the visual field supplied by this tract will not work, which is the medial side on the affected side, and the lateral side on the right side

Q

how is the lens able to focus to accommodate different visual stimuli

A

enabled by the ciliary muscle and the fibres which attach the ciliary body to the lens

zonular fibres connect ciliary body to the lens
- dependent on whether the zonular fibres are under tension (far) or relax (near) = control proximity of vision

Q

what houses the vestibulo-cochlear apparatus

A

petrous temporal bone

27
Q

the ear is divided into what 3 parts

A

external
middle
internal

28
Q

what separates the external ear from the middle ear

A

the tympanic membrane

29
Q

what joins the middle ear to the nasopharynx

A

pharyngotympanic/auditory/Eustachian tube

30
Q

what does the external ear consist of

A

the auricle
external acoustic meatus
= composed of cartilage & bone leading sound waves to the tympanic membrane

31
Q

what is the hearing process

A

the auricle and external acoustic meatus capture sound waves and direct them to the tympanic membrane

32
Q

what does the middle ear consist of + function

A
  • 3 bony ossicles mechanically transmitting sound through their movement
  • it is connected to pharynx by the auditory tube
  • it allows for air to enter the middle ear
33
Q

what does the internal ear consist of

A

Vestibulocochlear organ- contains the membranous labyrinth, which in turn is suspended in the bony labyrinth.

The bony labyrinth includes the semicircular canals, the cochlea, and the vestibule

34
Q

what is the visible part of the ear called

A

the auricle/pinna

35
Q

what is the function of the auricle( external ear)

A

has a supportive function - facilitates hearing
= it catches and funnels sound first into the external acoustic meatus and then to the tympanic membrane and inner ear

36
Q

what is the sensory innervation of the skin of and around the external ear

A

the greater auricular nerve (middle, post lat)
the auriculotemporal nerve (ant lat)

37
Q

what is the sensory innervation of the skin of and around the external ear

A

the great auricular nerve (middle, post lat)
the auriculotemporal nerve (ant lat)

38
Q

what is the structure of the External acoustic meatus

A
  • About 2.5cms long
  • has a cartilaginous lateral 1/3rd
  • bony medial 2/3rds
  • in middle contains skin, hair follicles and ceruminous glands - produce ear wax)n
39
Q

what is the tympanic membrane

A

thin, oval semitransparent membrane at the medial end of the external acoustic meatus

itforms a partition between the external acoustic meatus and the tympanic cavity of the middle ear,

40
Q

where is the tympanic membrane

A

held in the temporal bone by fibrocartilaginous

41
Q

what are the muscles of the middle ear

A

the tensor tympani
stapedius

42
Q

what are the parts of the auditory ossicles

A

malleus - connected to tympanic membrane
incus
stapes - base lies in fenestra vestibuli

43
Q

oval opening on the wall of the tympanic cavity is the

A

oval window/ fenestra vestibuli
- it leads to thevestibule of the bony labyrinth of the inner ear

44
Q

what is the ossicles function in the hearing process

A

increase the force and decrease the amplitude of the vibrations from the tympanic membrane

45
Q

function of the auditory tube

A

pressure equalisation and to replenish the air of the middle ear

46
Q

what is the side effect of this connection (middle ear - nasopharynx

A

infections can enter the middle ear through the same pathway, and this is why respiratory tract infections can sometimes cause middle ear infections as well

47
Q

What is a Schwannoma and its significance

A

benign tumour of a type of nerve cell, affecting the vestibulocochlear nerve and the surrounding tissue through its growth

can potentially endangers the facial nerve (due to its close proximity)

Surgery = to remove internal acoustic meatus

48
Q

what is the significance about ear infections

A
  • the internal carotid artery and internal jugular vein run very close to the ear
  • thin roof of bone between middle ear & middle cranial fossa
  • mastoid air cells, very close to the middle ear and connected via mastoid antrum - mucous membrane which lines the mastoid air cells, the tympanic cavity, and the auditory tube is continuous

= there is a risk that infections from the middle ear might spread into the cranial cavity.
= if the infection is very severe, it can spread and erode through the bone and affect the vascular structures, and spread further through the systemic circulation.
= mastoiditis

49
Q

Middle ear infections are called

A

Oits media

50
Q

what happens when you get CHRONIC OTIS MEDIA

A

Risk of damage to the ossicles causing conductive hearing loss
= issue is with the transmission of sound mechanically via the ossicles rather than with the CN VIII

these may spread to the mastoid air cells (mastoiditis) or beyond

51
Q

common cause of otis media

A

often caused by obstruction to the auditory tube

52
Q

what is the fluid in the bony labyrinth

A

perilymph within which the membranous labyrinth is suspended that contains endolymph

53
Q

what is the bony labyrinth

A

is the fluid-filled space surrounded by the otic capsule (part of the petrous temporal bone)

54
Q

what are the cavities of the bony labyrinth

A

the vestibule, the semicircular canals, and the cochlea

55
Q

Where and what does CNVIII divides into

A

near the lateral end of the internal acoustic meatus:

a cochlear nerve and a vestibular nerve

56
Q

what is the the Vestibular labyrinth concerned with
+ innervation

A

balance and equilibrium
CNVIII - vestibular nerve

57
Q

what is the the Cochlear labyrinth concerned with
+ innervation

A

hearing
CNVIII cochlear nerve

58
Q

what is the The vestibulocochlear apparatus

A

CN VIII, the cochlea, semicircular canals, the saccule, and the utricle

59
Q

what does the the cochlear part CNVIII supply

A

cochlea

60
Q

what does the the vestibular part CNVIII supply

A

it sends branches to the semicircular canals, the saccule, and the utricle = structures within or connected to the vestibule.

61
Q

what is neural hearing loss

A

damage to the cochlear part of CN VIII

the problem is with the nerve and the transmission of information through the nerve, or with the cochlea generally

62
Q

what is conductive hearing loss

A

problem with mechanical transmission of sound
= issues affecting the movement of the ossicles.

63
Q
