Question 1
| Multiple-choice | |
MRIs are useful for what types of structures? | |
| Select the best answer | |
Capillary hemangiomas (strawberry nevus) |
Vascular structures e.g. vascular tumors |
you push on the eye and it doesn't give |
Yes, but only after pt responds to IV Tx |
| Multiple-choice | |
Your pt presents with a flesh colored bump on the brow ridge. On palpation you feel a small round "ball" that moves freely inside. There is no inflammation. You suspect... | |
| Select the best answer | |
dermoid/epidermoid (cystic tumor) |
high flow arteriovenous fistula |
kids = assoc w/ polyps, allergies |
Seidel test to make sure no leakage |
| Multiple-choice | |
Enlarged lymph nodes at the neck/underarms, bruised eyelids (that won't go away) with a Hx of nosebleeds in a child makes you think... | |
| Select the best answer | |
Can metastasize |
ecto/mesodermal |
Rabdomyosarcoma |
Orbital X-ray |
| Multiple-choice | |
ON Giloma Tx? | |
| Select the best answer | |
Steroid (prednisone), anti-ulcer med (rantidine), low dose radiation if steroids fail, or as adj Tx; immunosupp Tx if above fail |
Sudden onset of "pushing on back of my eye" = orbital cellulitis Gradual = orbital tumor |
Steroid IV (betamethasone and triamcinolone), but can depigment eye and incr IOP. can also just monitor b/c can resolve over time on its own |
If VA good, NOT surgery. Surgery only if VA loss or severe proptosis Under 5 yo = chemo |
| Multiple-choice | |
What EOM is usually affected in orbital blowout fractures? | |
| Select the best answer | |
Yes, but only after pt responds to IV Tx |
Idiopathic Orbital Inflammatory Syndrome |
the vibration felt due to a hardened artery |
IR (orbital floor break so IR gets trapped) |
| Multiple-choice | |
Corkscrew vessels is a sign of ___ in orbital dz | |
| Select the best answer | |
arteriovenous fistula |
Decr sensation of CN V |
Lacrimal gland tumor |
lacrimal gland lesion |
| Multiple-choice | |
What is a "thrill"? | |
| Select the best answer | |
False - there is incr IOP, in high flow |
the vibration felt due to a hardened artery |
Yes, but only after pt responds to IV Tx |
Capillary hemangiomas (strawberry nevus) |
| Multiple-choice | |
High flow fistula demographic and cause? | |
| Select the best answer | |
High = surgery |
Young male, trauma; ICA fistula in cavernous sinus |
no orbit; Tx = socket expansion and prosthesis |
Side effect of vancomycin, a Tx for orbital cellulitis |
| Multiple-choice | |
Afrin is indicated for orbital trauma because... | |
| Select the best answer | |
(nasal decongestant) so pt won't blow nose (valsalva can push sinus contents into orbit) |
False - enophthalmos (orbital floor drops so globe pulls back) Thus also can see ptosis |
Sudden onset of "pushing on back of my eye" = orbital cellulitis Gradual = orbital tumor |
False - not a solid mass (diffuse) therefore not diagnostic |
| Multiple-choice | |
Difference b/w T1 and T2 MRIs? | |
| Select the best answer | |
False - not a solid mass (diffuse) therefore not diagnostic |
High = surgery |
T1 = water (i.e. vitreous) is dark T2 = water is white |
Pleomorphic adenoma, pleomorphic adenocarcinoma, cylindroma |
