2-17 yrs. old school boy was playing foot ball and he was kicked in his Rt. Eye,few hours later
he started to complain of : double vision & echymoses around the eye, the most likely Dx. Is :
a- cellulites
b- orbital bone fracture
c- global eye ball rupture
e- subconjuctival hemorrhage
Blunt trauma usually results in periorbital bruising and gross lid edema, which can make examination to exclude perforating injury
difficult. These patients should be referred to the ophthalmologist for a detailed ocular examination to exclude a perforation retinal
detachment or a traumatic hyphema
Note Some physicians use oral steroids initially to decrease the inflammatory reaction; generally, we do not. Some prefer immediate
repair; we do not.
Follow-up
Patients should be seen at 1 and 2 weeks after trauma and evaluated for persistent diplopia or enophthalmos after the acute orbital
edema has subsided. The presence of these findings may indicate entrapment of the orbital contents or a large displaced fracture and
the need for surgical repair. Patients should also be monitored for the development of associated ocular injuries (e.g, orbital cellulitis,
angle-recession glaucoma, and retinal detachment). Gonioscopy of the anterior chamber (AC) angle and dilated retinal examination
with scleral depression is performed 3 to 4 weeks after trauma. Warning symptoms of retinal detachment and orbital cellulitis are
explained to the patient.
3- a 35 yrs old female pt. C/O : acute inflammation and pain in her Lt. eye since 2 days .. she
gave Hx of visual blurring and use of contact lens as well O/E : fluorescence stain shows
dentritic ulcer at the center of the cornea .. the most likely diagnosis is :
a- corneal abrasion
b- herpetic central ulcer
c- central lens stress ulcer
d- acute episcleritis
e- acute angle closure glaucoma
.
a dendritic corneal ulcer (Fig. 20.20). The organism responsible for this condition is the herpes
simplex virus (HSV), which is usually HSV-1 but HSV-2 can give rise to ocular infection
Other Signs
Cells in the anterior vitreous (spillover), posterior synechiae (adhesions of the iris to the lens), miosis, low intraocular pressure (IOP)
but occasionally increased (especially with herpes simplex and herpes zoster), injection of the perilimbal blood vessels (ciliary
flush), fibrinous hypopyon (layering of white cells in the anterior chamber) if severe, cystoid macular edema if chronic, occasionally
a cataract.
Note Patients will often complain of increased pain in the involved eye when light is shined in the uninvolved eye because of the
consensual pupillary response.
Etiology
ACUTE, NONGRANULOMATOUS
1. Idiopathic
2. Human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-B27associated uveitis (without systemic disease).
3. Trauma (see Traumatic Iritis, Section 3.6)
4. Ankylosing spondylitis (Young adult men, often with low back pain, abnormal sacroiliac spine
radiographs, increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), positive HLA-B27.)
5. Inflammatory bowel disease (Chronic intermittent diarrhea, often alternating with constipation.)
6. Reiter's syndrome reactive arthritis (Young adult men, conjunctivitis, urethritis, polyarthritis,
occasionally keratitis, increased ESR, positive HLA-B27, may have recurrent episodes.)
7. Psoriatic arthritis (Iritis is not associated with psoriasis without arthritis.)
8. Glaucomatocyclitic crisis (Recurrent episodes of acute IOP increase, open angle on gonioscopy,
corneal edema, fine KP, fixed middilated pupil, and mild iritis. See Section 10.12,
Glaucomatocyclitic Crisis.)
9. Lens-induced uveitis (Often after incomplete extracapsular cataract extraction or trauma damaging
the lens capsule; also may be secondary to a hypermature cataract.)
10. Postoperative iritis (An anterior-chamber reaction is expected after intraocular surgery. Severe
reactions with excessive pain, however, must make the examiner consider endophthalmitis. See
Postoperative Uveitis, Section 13.9.)
11. UGH syndrome (uveitisglaucomahyphema) [Usually secondary to irritation from an intraocular
lens (especially a closed-loop anterior-chamber lens). See Postoperative Glaucoma, Section 10.15.]
12. Behet's disease (Young adults, acute hypopyon, iritis, aphthous mouth ulcers, genital ulcerations,
erythema nodosum, positive Behet's skin-puncture test if active systemic disease is present, often
retinal vasculitis and hemorrhages, may have recurrent episodes.)
13. Lyme disease (Often a history of a tick bite. May have a skin rash and/or arthritis. See Section 14.4,
Lyme Disease.)
14. Anterior-segment ischemia (Caused by carotid insufficiency, flare out of proportion to the cellular
reaction, pain.)
15. Mumps, influenza, adenovirus, measles, chlamydia (Rare causes of transient anterior uveitis.)
16. Medication (Rifabutin, systemic sulfonamides, cidofovir, and topical optipranolol can all cause
uveitis.)
17. Tight contact lens (Red eye, corneal edema, epithelial defects, iritis hypopyon, no stromal
infiltrates.)
18. Other rare causes of anterior uveitis (Leptospirosis, Kawasaki's disease, rickettsial disease.)
CHRONIC, USUALLY NONGRANULOMATOUS
1. Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) [Usually young girls, eye may be white and without pain, often
bilateral, iritis can occur before the arthritis, pauciarticular arthritis (fewer than five joints involved),
positive antinuclear antibody (ANA), negative rheumatoid factor, increased ESR, glaucoma,
cataracts, and occasionally fever and lymphadenopathy.]
2. Chronic iridocyclitis of children (Usually young girls, same as JRA, except no arthritis.)
3. Fuchs' heterochromic iridocyclitis (Usually unilateral, few symptoms, diffuse iris stromal atrophy
often causing a lighter colored iris, iris transillumination defects, blunting of the iris architecture,
fine KP over the entire corneal endothelium, mild anterior-chamber reaction, few if any posterior
synechiae. Vitreous opacities, glaucoma, and cataracts are common.)
Differential Diagnosis
The following may be associated with an anterior-chamber reaction.
Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) (Elevated retina with a retinal break, pigment cells in the vitreous or
anterior chamber. See Section 12.19, Retinal Detachment.)
Posterior segment tumor (e.g., retinoblastoma or leukemia in children, malignant melanoma in adults. See Section 8.3,
Malignant Melanoma of the Choroid.)
Juvenile xanthogranuloma (Age younger than 15 years, often with a spontaneous hyphema, yellowgray poorly
demarcated iris nodule or nodules, and slightly raised orange skin lesions.)
Intraocular foreign body
Sclerouveitis (Uveitis secondary to scleritis.)
Endophthalmitis (See Section 13.9, Postoperative Uveitis, Section 13.10, Postoperative Endophthalmitis, Section 13.11,
Traumatic Endophthalmitis, Section 13.12, Endogenous Bacterial Endophthalmitis.)
Workup
1.Obtain a history, attempting to define the etiology.
2.Complete ocular examination, including an IOP check and a dilated fundus examination. The vitreous should be
evaluated for cells (see Appendix 8).
If a unilateral, nongranulomatous uveitis develops for the first time and the history and examination are unremarkable,
then no further workup is pursued.
If the uveitis is bilateral, granulomatous, or recurrent, and the history and examination are unremarkable, then a
nonspecific initial workup is conducted:
3.Complete blood count (CBC).
4.ESR.
5.HLA-B27.
6.ACE level, ANA.
7.RPR or VDRL.
8.FTA-ABS or MHA-TP.
9.PPD and anergy panel.
10.Chest radiograph, especially to rule out sarcoidosis and tuberculosis.
11.In endemic areas, a Lyme titer is recommended (see the following).
If the history, symptoms, or signs, or a combination of these point strongly to a certain etiology, then the workup should
be tailored accordingly:
Syphilis: RPR or VDRL, FTA-ABS or MHA-TP.
Ankylosing spondylitis: Sacroiliac spine radiographs show sclerosis and narrowing of the joint spaces, ESR, HLA-B27.
Inflammatory bowel disease: Medical or gastrointestinal consult, HLA-B27.
Reiter's syndrome: Conjunctival, urethral, and prostatic cultures (for chlamydia) if indicated; joint radiographs if
arthritis is present; a medical or rheumatology consult; consider an HLA-B27.
Psoriatic arthritis: A rheumatology or dermatology consult, HLA-B27.
Glaucomatocyclitic crisis: Diagnosed clinically.
Lens-induced uveitis: Diagnosed clinically. See Phacolytic Glaucoma, Section 10.8; Lens-Particle Glaucoma, Section
10.9; and Phacoanaphylactic Endophthalmitis, Section 13.14.
Herpes: Diagnosed clinically.
UGH: Diagnosed clinically.
Behet's disease: Behet's skin-puncture test (if a blister develops minutes to hours after puncturing the skin
intradermally with a sterile 25- to 30-gauge needle, a positive test is noted), a medical or rheumatology consult,
consider an HLA-B27 or HLA-B5.
Lyme disease: Lyme immunofluorescent assay or enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
JRA: ANA, rheumatoid factor, radiographs of arthritic joints (if no arthritic symptoms are present, then radiographs of
the knees are obtained), and a pediatric or rheumatology consult.
Chronic iridocyclitis of children: Same as JRA.
Fuchs' heterochromic iridocyclitis: Diagnosed clinically.
Sarcoidosis: Chest x-ray, ACE, serum lysozyme, and a PPD and anergy panel, gallium scan of the head and neck;
consider a biopsy of any skin or conjunctival nodule for pathologic diagnosis (see Sarcoidosis, Section 13.4).
Note ACE and gallium scans may give false-negative results if the patient is taking systemic steroids. ACE levels also
may be low if the patient is taking ACE inhibitors for cardiac reasons.
Tuberculosis: PPD and anergy panel, chest radiograph, referral to a medical specialist.
Treatment
1.Cycloplegic (e.g., cyclopentolate, 1% to 2%, t.i.d., or scopolamine, 0.25%, b.i.d., for mild-to-moderate inflammation;
scopolamine, 0.25%, t.i.d., for moderate inflammation, or atropine, 1%, t.i.d., for severe inflammation. Use atropine if a
hypopyon is present).
2.Topical steroid (e.g., prednisolone acetate, 1%, q 1 to 6 hours, depending on the severity). Most cases of moderate-to-
severe acute uveitis require q 1 to 2 hour dosing initially.
If the anterior uveitis is severe and is not responding well to frequent topical steroids, then consider periocular
repository steroids (e.g., methylprednisolone, 40 to 80 mg subtenons). Before injecting depot steroids periocularly, it is
wise to use topical steroids at full strength for 6 weeks to make certain that the patient is not a steroid responder (i.e.,
develops a significant IOP increase from taking steroids). See Appendix 7, which describes the technique of a subtenons
injection.
If there is no improvement on maximal topical and repository steroids, then consider systemic steroids, or last, systemic
immunosuppressive agents. A medical or rheumatology consult is often advisable when systemic therapy is to be
instituted. See Medical Glossary for a systemic steroid workup.
3.Treat secondary glaucoma with aqueous suppressants (not with pilocarpine or latanoprost). Glaucoma may result
from:
a.A severe inflammatory reaction with cellular blockage of the trabecular meshwork. See Inflammatory Open-Angle
Glaucoma, Section 10.4.
b.Synechiae formation giving rise to secondary angle closure. See Acute Angle-Closure Glaucoma, Section 10.10.
c.Neovascularization of the iris, producing blockage of the trabecular meshwork or closure of the angle. See
Neovascular Glaucoma, Section 10.13.
d.A response to steroids. See Steroid-Response Glaucoma, Section 10.5.
4.If an exact etiology for the anterior uveitis is determined, then the specific management outlined later should be added
to these treatments.
Ankylosing spondylitis Often requires systemic antiinflammatory agents [e.g., aspirin, nonsteroidal antiinflammatory
drugs (NSAIDs): naprosyn or indomethacin]. Consider cardiology consult (there is a high incidence of heart block and
aortic insufficiency), rheumatology consult, and physical therapy consult.
Inflammatory bowel disease Often benefits from systemic steroids or sulfadiazine or both and supplemental vitamin A.
Needs a medical or gastrointestinal consult.
Reiter's syndrome If urethritis is present, then the patient and sexual partners are treated for chlamydia (e.g.,
tetracycline, 250 to 500 mg, q.i.d., doxycycline, 100 mg, b.i.d., or erythromycin, 250 to 500 mg, q.i.d., for 3 to 6
weeks). Obtain medical, rheumatology, or physical therapy consult or a combination of these.
Psoriatic arthritis Consider a rheumatology or dermatology consult.
Glaucomatocyclitic crisis See Section 10.12, Glaucomatocyclitic Crisis.
Lens-induced uveitis Usually requires removal of lens material, see Phacolytic Glaucoma, Section 10.8; Lens-Particle
Glaucoma, Section 10.9; and Phacoanaphylactic Endophthalmitis, Section 13.14.
Herpes uveitis Requires prophylactic topical antivirals when atypical or taking steroids; may benefit from systemic
acyclovir. See Herpes Simplex Virus, Section 4.15; or Herpes Zoster Virus, Section 4.16.
UGH See Postoperative Glaucoma, Section 10.15.
Behet's disease Often needs systemic steroids or immunosuppressive agents (responds well to chlorambucil); consider
a medical or rheumatology consult.
Lyme disease See Section 14.4, Lyme Disease.
JRA The steroid dosage is adjusted according to the degree of cells, not flare, present in the anterior chamber; prolonged
cycloplegic therapy (e.g., tropicamide, 0.5%, qhs) may be required. A rheumatology or pediatric consult for possible
aspirin or systemic steroid therapy is usually obtained.
Note There is a high complication rate with cataract surgery.
Chronic iridocyclitis of children Same as JRA.
Fuchs' heterochromic iridocyclitis Usually does not respond to or require steroids (a trial of steroids may be attempted,
but they should be tapered quickly if there is no response); cycloplegics are rarely necessary.
Note Patients usually do well with cataract surgery.
Sarcoidosis Often needs periocular and systemic steroids; a medicine or pulmonary consult is advisable for systemic
evaluation (see Section 13.4, Sarcoidosis).
Syphilis See Acquired Syphilis, Section 14.2, or Congenital Syphilis, Section 14.3.
Tuberculosis Avoid systemic steroids. Refer the patient to an internist for consideration of systemic antituberculous
treatment.
Follow-up
Every 1 to 7 days in the acute phase, depending on the severity; every 1 to 6 months when stable. At each visit, the
anterior-chamber reaction and IOP should be evaluated. A vitreous and fundus examination should be performed for all
flare-ups, when vision is affected, or every 3 to 6 months. If the anterior-chamber reaction is improving, then the steroid
drops can be slowly tapered [usually 1 drop per day every 3 to 7 days (e.g., q.i.d. for 1 week, then t.i.d. for 1 week, then
b.i.d. for 1 week)]. Steroids are usually discontinued once all cells have disappeared from the anterior chamber (flare is
often still present). Rarely long-term low-dose steroids every day or every other day are required to keep the
inflammation from recurring. The cycloplegic agents also can be tapered as the anterior-chamber reaction improves.
Cycloplegics should be used at least qhs until the anterior chamber is free of cells.
Note As with most ocular and systemic diseases requiring steroid therapy, the steroid (be it topical or systemic) should
never be discontinued abruptly. Sudden discontinuation of steroids can lead to severe rebound inflammation.
Anterior uveitis develops in sarcoidosis, ankylosing spondylitis, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel
disease, psoriasis, Reiter's syndrome, and Behcet's disease. It is also associated with herpes infections, syphilis, Lyme
disease, onchocerciasis, tuberculosis, and leprosy.
Extraarticular Manifestations RA is a systemic disease with a variety of extraarticular manifestations. Although these
occur frequently, not all of them have clinical significance.

followed by light preception, the least cause is:
a. Retinal detachment.
b. Central retinal arterial embolism. Sudden loss of vision
c. Vitreous hemorrhage.
d. Retro-orbital neuritis.
e. Retinitis pigmentosa. Chronic loss of vision
7-A patient came to you complaining of gradual loss of vision & now he can only identify light.
which of the following is the LEAST cause of this problem?
a) retinal detachment
b) central retinal artery embolism sudden
c) vitreous hemorrhage
d) retinitis pigmentosa
e) retrobulbar neuritis
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a group of genetic eye conditions. In the progression of symptoms for RP, night
blindness generally precedes tunnel vision by years or even decades. Many people with RP do not become legally blind
until their 40s or 50s and retain some sight all their lives . Others go completely blind from RP, in some cases as early as
childhood. Progression of RP is different in each case.
RP is a type of progressive retinal dystrophy, a group of inherited disorders in which abnormalities of the
photoreceptors (rods and cones) or the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) of the retina lead to progressive visual loss.
Affected individuals first experience defective dark adaptation or nyctalopia (night blindness), followed by reduction of
the peripheral visual field (known as tunnel vision) and, sometimes, loss of central vision late in the course of the
disease.

excruciating eye pain and frequent vomiting:
a) Acute glaucoma

c) Acute iritis
d) Episcleritis
e) Corneal ulceration
9- a 45 ys male came to the ER with sudden headache, blurred vision, excruciating eye pain

c) Acute glaucoma
d) Episcleritis
e) Corneal ulceration

outward?????,,,, on examination his pupil reflex was normal
a- carotid aneurysm.
b- 3rd N palsy.
c- 4th N palsy.
d- 6th N palsy.
e- strabismus.
Oculomotor nerve palsy is an eye condition resulting from damage to the third cranial nerve or a branch thereof. As
the name suggests, the oculomotor nerve supplies the majority of the muscles controlling eye movements. Thus,
damage to this nerve will result in the affected individual being unable to move their eye normally. In addition, the
nerve also supplies the upper eyelid muscle (the Levator palpebrae superioris) and the muscles responsible for pupil
constriction (termed miosis) and dilation (termed mydriasis). The limitations of eye movements resulting from the
condition are generally so severe that the affected individual is unable to maintain normal alignment of their eyes when
looking straight ahead, leading to strabismus and, as a consequence, double vision (diplopia).It is also known as
"Oculomotor neuropathy".[1]

a) Retinitis pigmentosa.
b) Retrobulbar neuritis.
c) Retinal detachment.
