This document discusses various types of uveal tumors including:
1. Epithelial tumors such as epithelial hyperplasia, benign epithelioma, and malignant epithelioma including medullo epithelioma and ciliary epithelioma.
2. Muscular tumors like leiomyoma and leiomyosarcoma.
3. Vascular tumors including hemangioma.
4. Neuroectodermal tumors such as schwannian tumors including neurofibroma and neurilemmoma.
5. Secondary tumors that can spread to the uvea from other locations like the breast, lung, or skin.

This document outlines the syllabus for a fifth year ophthalmology course for medical students at the University of Sulaimani College of Medicine in Iraq. The course consists of 72 credit hours, with 27 hours of theoretical lectures and 45 hours of practical sessions. The theoretical lectures cover various topics in ophthalmology and are taught once a week. The practical sessions involve training in examination techniques, use of instruments, and examining clinical cases over three weeks. The objectives are to train students in examination and diagnosis of eye diseases and management of emergencies. Assessment includes midterm and final exams testing knowledge and clinical skills.

The document provides information about an ophthalmology course for fifth year medical students at the University of Sulaimani College of Medicine in Iraq for the 2010-2011 academic year. It includes details about the course structure, content, instructors, assessment methods, and policies. The course consists of 72 credit hours split between theoretical lectures and practical sessions. Assessment is based on mid-year exams, clinical exams, final exams, attendance, and a practical evaluation. The goal is to train students in ophthalmic examination techniques and the diagnosis and management of eye diseases.
The document is an atlas of ophthalmology focusing on the eyelids, lacrimal drainage system, conjunctiva, and dry eye. It contains detailed diagrams and photos of normal anatomy, various pathological conditions, and surgical techniques. The images show features like entropion, ectropion, ptosis, dacryocystitis, bacterial and viral conjunctivitis, trachoma, vernal keratoconjunctivitis, and dry eye tear film layers. The atlas aims to provide visual education on eye diseases and procedures for medical students and ophthalmologists.
A 45-year-old African American woman presented with a two day history of sore throat, eye pain and redness, fever, and malaise. On examination, she had visual acuity of 20/40 in both eyes, round and reactive pupils, and erythema of the eyelids and conjunctiva. The presentation is consistent with erythema multiforme, a spectrum of mucocutaneous disorders that can be drug-induced or due to infection. Management involves supportive care, steroids, immunoglobulins, and addressing both acute ocular involvement and long-term complications.
Severe life threatening infection of orbit is called as orbital cellulitis which can be due to many causes. A skill to recognize the disease early and give prompt treatment is very essential for any ophthalmologist
The conjunctiva has three parts - palpebral tarsal, forniceal, and bulbar. It has an epithelial layer and stromal layer. There are three types of mucin secretors - goblet cells, crypts of Henle, and glands of Manz. Clinical features of conjunctival diseases include type of discharge, conjunctival injection, conjunctival reaction type, and presence of pseudomembranes. Bacterial conjunctivitis presents with redness, discharge, and is usually self-limiting while being treated with antibiotics. Adenoviral conjunctivitis can cause pharyngoconjunctival fever or epidemic keratoconjunctivitis and is highly cont
The document discusses diseases of the orbit, including:
1. It describes the anatomy of the orbital cavity including its dimensions, walls, openings, spaces, and relations to other structures.
2. It discusses different types of proptosis including the causes, signs, and treatments. Causes can include infections, tumors, or endocrine disorders like Graves' disease.
3. Graves' disease is described as the most common cause of exophthalmos. It involves protrusion of the eye along with signs of hyperthyroidism. Surgical orbital decompression may be needed for severe cases.
This document provides an overview of the anatomy, physiology, clinical evaluation and treatment of various conditions affecting the eyelids, orbit, and lacrimal system. It discusses the basic anatomy of the eyelids including the 7 layers, muscles and glands. Common benign and malignant eyelid lesions are described along with disorders like entropion, ectropion and ptosis. The anatomy and clinical evaluation of orbital and lacrimal diseases are also reviewed. Surgical techniques for various eyelid, orbital and lacrimal conditions are mentioned.
