Study Notes
Inferior Division of the Eye
- Consists of IR (inferior rectus), MR (medial rectus), IO (inferior oblique), iris sphincter, and ciliary muscle
- Causes of palsy:
- Microvascular ischemia
- Aneurysm
- Head trauma
- Palsy with pupil involvement is assumed to be secondary to aneurysm until proven otherwise
Muscle Terminology
- Agonist: primary muscle that moves an eye in a given direction (e.g., right lateral rectus muscle in abduction of the right eye)
- Synergist: muscle in the same eye that moves the eye in the same direction (e.g., right superior rectus and right inferior oblique muscles)
- Antagonist: muscle in the same eye that moves the eye in the opposite direction of the agonist (e.g., right medial rectus and lateral medial rectus muscles)
- Yolk muscles (contralateral synergists): pairs of muscles that produce conjugate ocular movements in the same direction of gaze (e.g., right lateral rectus and left medial rectus)
Amblyopia and Strabismus
- Amblyopia: lazy eye, vision deficiency in an eye when the brain turns off the visual processing of one eye
- Anisometropia: unequal refractive errors between the two eyes
- Diplopia: double vision, classified into:
- Monocular diplopia: persists when one eye is closed and seen only when both eyes are open
- Binocular diplopia: seen only when both eyes are open
- Strabismus (Squint/Crossed Eye): misalignment of the two eyes, classified into:
- Non-paralytic (Concomitant Squint): movements of both eyes are full, but only one eye is directed towards the fixated target
- Paralytic Squint: due to nerve palsy
- Restrictive Myopathy
Anatomy of Extra Ocular Muscles
- 7 extra ocular muscles, including:
- Superior rectus: originates from annulus of Zinn, supplied by 3rd CN, functions in elevation, adduction, and intorsion
- Inferior rectus: originates from annulus of Zinn, supplied by 3rd CN, functions in depression, extortion, and adduction
- Lateral rectus: originates from annulus of Zinn, supplied by 6th CN, functions in abduction
- Medial rectus: originates from annulus of Zinn, supplied by 3rd CN, functions in adduction
- Superior oblique: originates from body of sphenoid bone, supplied by 4th CN, functions in intorsion, depression, and abduction
- Inferior oblique: originates from orbital surface of maxilla, supplied by 3rd CN, functions in extortion, elevation, and abduction
- All superior muscles (rectus and oblique) have intorsion, and all inferior muscles (rectus and oblique) have extorsion
Eye Movements
- Binocular eye movements (Versions): prerequisites of binocular single vision
- Monocular eye movements (Ductions)
- Types of ocular movements:
- Horizontal (adduction and abduction)
- Vertical (elevation or depression)
- Torsional (intorsion or extorsion)
