Neuro-ophthalmology david.kinshuck@goodhope.nhs.uk • a semi-interactive tutorial to be used with the online files; • downloaded versions can be downloaded from here into the same folder. They are .exe files and should play on all laptops
Neuro-ophthalmology • Dilated pupil/ptosis/divergent eye= 3rd n palsy • Vertical diplopia = 4th nerve palsy • One eye convergent = 6th nerve palsy • 7th nerve palsy • Dilated pupil/normal sight = adies pupil • Dim vision one eye = optic neuritis (rarely tumour) • Field defects
3rd nerve palsy Common symptoms, 3rd button
3rd nerve palsy • Online, chronic eye disease, section 3 (3rd ‘?’ down on left) 2mb • Folder similar • All recti except superior oblique and lateral rectus paralysed
4th nerve palsy Online, chronic eye disease, section 3 (3rd ‘?’ down on left) 2mb Folder similar Superior oblique palsy: vertical diplopia
6th nerve palsy Online, chronic eye disease, section 3 (3rd ‘?’ down on left) 2mb Folder similar Lateral rectus palsy
7th nerve palsy Try and think, in pairs, 1 minute • Causes • Problems • What is the route of the 7th nerve?
7th nerve palsy lesions • Bells palsy, possibly herpes simplex • Ramsay-Hunt with rash: herpes zoster • Upper motor neurone…forehead symmetrical • Detailed description
7th nerve palsy Runs over petrous part of temporal bone… 6,7,8th palsy Herpes zoster: look in ear for vesicles
7th nerve palsy: eye problems • Dry cornea • can ulcerate • Use fluorescein for examination • Lubricate +++ • Occasionally suture lids closed. • Serious problem for acoustic neuroma patients
Nystagmus • Involuntary eye movement… • Slow movement is the ‘problem’ • Fast is the recovery • If worse looking straight, generally a central lesion • If worse looking to one side, generally vestibular • online (section 12, double vision and pupil, 3 top ‘?’right) • Folder similar
Optic atrophy • Think, again in pairs, about what may cause optic neuritis • Infection, genetic, toxic, vascular, nutritional, other diseases
Optic atrophy, causes • Dim sight • Reduced visual field • Causes • Pernicious anaemia…B12 deficiency • Congenital..eg Lebers • Toxic…methanol, smoking, poor diet
Optic atrophy, case A 43y woman complains of a mild headache (left forehead). The headache has been present 2 months, and is not getting better. As you listen she tells you the sight is dim in left eye. Examination confirms red colours in the left eye are not as bright as when seen with the right eye. CT scan details: (Further examination may show a pale optic disk and afferent pupillary defect, and visual field defect, but even without these findings a CT scan is needed.)
Field defects Here 1 • Quiz…with each lesion, what would the field draw the field…in pairs. • Answers • Online (tiny) • folder Here 2 Here 3 Here 4 (small, lower occipital)
