Define ectropion
an abnormal eversion of the lower lid margin away from the globe.
what are some subjective symptoms of ectropion?
tearing, eye or eyelid irritation, wiping eye, history of burns surgery or trauma around lids, bells palsy, asymptomatic.
Meaning of soap?
subjective objective assesment and plan.
Objective observations of ectropion
outward turning of the eyelid, exposure keratopathy, conjunctival injection, keratinization.
what is a physical response to ectropion
keritinization. the cornea looks milky and oozy.
PEE and SPK are an outcome of ectropion. what do they stand for and Define them.
Puncate Epithelial Erosions
superficial punctate keratopathy. the fine scattered loss of corneal epi.
some possible causes of ectropion are?
congenital, acquired, involutional
some possible ways that ectropion can be acquired?
involutional, paralytic, cicatricial (scarring), mechanical, allergy.
the most common cause of acquired ectropion?
involutional. lid laxity with age.
its rare that ectropion be congenital but if its due to blepharophimosis syndrome what is this?
the abnormal narrowness of the palpebral fissure in the horizontal direction caused by the lateral displacement of the medial canthi
its rare that ectropion be congenital but if its due to microphthalmos what is this?
developmental anomaly where the globe is abnormally small.
congenital ectropion may be associated with buphthalmos which is?
An enlarged globe resulting from increased IOP. seen with pts that have congenital glaucoma.
Congenital Ectropion may be associated with?
Down syndrome, Orbital cysts, or Buphthalmos
Involutional Ectropion. Laxity-related ectropion typically begins laterally,centrally or medially
medially
four words that are used to describe ectropion are
punctal, medial, lateral, and tarsal (complete)
name two ways that lower lid laxity can be tested
lid distraction test > 8mm and the snap test >1- 2 sec to return both indicate lid laxity.
orbicularis dysfunction due to 7th nerve palsy can be tested by asking the pt to do what?
show their teeth
If the ectropion is due to a paralytic problem what should be the first thing done?
wait for three months it should resolve on its own.
A cicatricial cause of ectropion could be due to?
chemical burn, surgery, eyelid laceration scar, or others
If conjunctiva is markedly keratinized what should be done first?
lubricating ointment should be used several days or weeks prior to ectropion repair
Temporary fixes for ectropion
Tarsorrhaphy - lids partially sewn together and Electrocautery
permanent fixes for ectropion
involutional-shorten tarsal strip
palsy-gold weight inplant
subjective reports for entropion
ocular irritation, FB sensation, tearing, red eye, potopobia, decreased vision (possible)
objective findings for entropion.
turned in eyelid, SPK, FB tracking, conj injection, corneal ulcer, decreased cornela sensation, corneal scaring
causes of entropion
involutional, acute spastic, or congenital, cicatricial
entropion caused by acute spastic entropion is caused by what?
the orbicularis oculi muscle overwhelms the oppositional action of the lower eyelid retractors.
you may have to ask the pt to ______in order to see acute spastic entropion.
blink
most pt's with acute spastic entropion will show a(n)_____ component as well.
involutional
acute spastic entropion is usually the result of?
ocular irritation, may be due to an infectious, inflammatory or traumatic processes.
Congenital entropion is very rare but may arise due to underlying developmental abnormalities such as
dysgenesis, paucity of tissue vertically in the posterior lamella of eye lid, or tarsal kink syndrome
causes of cicatricial entropion could be?
scaring of the palpebral conj usually the result of trauma, infection, chemical burn or stevens-johnsons syndrome, ocular cicatricial pemphigoid
what is ocular cicatricial pemphigoid (OCP) (a cicatricial cause of entropion
Rare inflammatory syndrome involving primarily the oral and ocular mucous membranes
entropion Must be distinguished from Epiblepharon which is?
A congenital condition in which the pretarsal orbicularis muscle and the skin covering the eyelid push the eyelashes vertically or inwards
three differential diagnoses of entropion
trichiasis (misdirection of lashes), distichiasis (lashes out of Miebomian galnd), trachoma (chlamydia)
Plan for entropion
Medical therapy- lubrication (may break cycle of spastic ent.). hygiene/ antibio and steroid to treat bleph. which coud be causing the spastics. Botox-weakens pretarsal orbicularis.
