1
Orbit and lids and lacrimal disorders By Dr. ABDULMAJID ALSHEHAH Ophthalmology consultant Anterior Segment and Uveitis consultant
2
The orbit AnatomyFunction protection to the globe attachments which stabilize the ocular movement; transmission of nerves and blood vessels.
3
The orbit Clinical features of orbital disease Proptosis Enophthalmos Pain Eyelid and conjunctival changes Diplopia Reduced visual acuity
4
The orbit
6
Proptosis (exopthalmos) protrusion of the eye caused by a space- occupying lesion can be measured with an exophthalmometer. 3 mm difference between the two eyes is significant. Direction of proptosis Transient proptosis (orbital varices) Fast onset proptosis (malignant, inflammatory) Slow onset proptosis (benign) Pain associated with proptosis ( orbital cellulitis)
7
Thyroid ophthalmopathy Pathogenesis Disorders of the thyroid gland can be associated with an infiltration of the extraocular muscles with lymphocytes and the deposition of glycosaminoglycans. An immunological process is suspected but not fully determined. Clinical features Proptosis (most common cause in adults) Lid retraction (characteristic stare) Lid lag Double vision red painful eye (exposure) Reduced visual acuity (optic nerve)
8
Thyroid ophthalmopathy
9
Treatment of associated ocular emergencies (optic nerve compression and corneal exposure) 1- systemic steroid 2- radiotherapy 3- orbital decompression 4- heavy lubrication Long term treatment Only after stabilization, muscle and lid surgery
10
Diplopia (Muscle pathology) Thyroid ophthalmopathy (Graves’ ophthalmopathy) Idiopathic Orbital Inflammatory Disease ( orbital pseudotumor)
11
Enophthalmos Congenital (small eye) After trauma ( blow out fracture)
12
Orbital pain Infection Tumors (malignant) inflammation
13
Eyelid and conjunctival changes Redness Swelling (orbital cellulitis, preseptal cellulitis, carotid cavernous fistula)
14
Reduced visual acuity Corneal exposure Compression or inflammation of optic nerve Macular distortion
15
Orbital tumors lacrimal gland tumors optic nerve gliomas meningiomas lymphomas Rhabdomyosarcoma (most common orbital malignancy in childhood) metastasis from other systemic cancers (neuroblastomas in children, the breast, lung, prostate or gastrointestinal tract in the adult).

QUSTIONS
25
The lacrimal system
26
The lacrimal drainage system
27
NLD obstruction
28
Congenital NLD obstruction 5% of all full-term newborns. 90% open spontaneously in the first year of life. Tx: massage and antibiotics drops if infected. Sometimes need probing and tubing
29
Adult NLD obstruction
30
Dacryocystitis
