The document describes various anatomical structures of the orbit and eye, including:
1) The bony orbit is formed by the frontal, sphenoid, maxillary, zygomatic, ethmoid, and palatine bones. It contains openings like the optic canal and infraorbital foramen.
2) The extraocular muscles include the four recti and two oblique muscles originating at the orbital apex.
3) The orbit contains the lacrimal gland, eyelids, optic nerve, ophthalmic artery, and ophthalmic veins.
4) Common orbital pathologies discussed include thyroid orbitopathy, dermoid cysts, hematologic cysts, and cholesterol granulomas.
Overview of role of imaging in different intraconal and extraconal pathologies including infective,inflammatory and neoplastic pathologies.Also included is insight into anatomy,trauma,post operative imaging and certain miscellaneous disorders

ITS A TRUE EMERGENCY IN OPHTHALMOLOGY
Orbit is essentially a socket for the eyeball, containing the muscles, nerves and vessels .
It resembles a quadrilateral pyramid whose base is directed forward, laterally and slightly downwards
It is not a true quadrilateral pyramid, since the floor ( shortest orbit wall ) fails to reach the apex.
Also, because the orbit is developed around the eye and is bulged out by the lacrimal gland, it tends towards spheroidal form.
Base of orbit is closed partly by globe , extraocular muscles
& their fascial expansions.
- These fascial expansions & sup and inferior oblique muscles
bound 5 orifices between them & orbital margins .
-These are the communications between orbital cavity & deep
portion of eyelid.
- Through them blood & pus passes out of orbit . Further
spread in lid is prevented by orbital septum.
Clinical significance:
* A sharp object injury through upper lid penetrates the roof &
may damage frontal lobe.
* Orbital roof anamolies or fractures can lead to pulsatile
exophthalmos.
* Since roof is neither perforated by major nerves nor vessels , it
can be easily nibbed away in transfrontal orbitotomy
It involves CN III, IV, and VI: ophthalmoplegia (diplopia), proptosis, and ptosis
; Ophthalmic (V1) division of the trigeminal nerve: ipsilateral hypoaesthesia of the forehead, upper eyelid, and cornea;
Optic nerve (II): visual deficit that can lead to
blindness

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Meibomian glands These glands secrete oil into the tear film that keeps the tears from evaporating too quickly. Meibomian glands may become inflamed and swell into a granulomatous chalazion that needs to be excised. Don’t confuse a chalazion with a stye. A stye is a pimple-like infection of a sebaceous gland or eyelash ollicle, similar to a pimple, and is superficial to the tarsal plate. Styes are painful, while chalazions are not.
The orbicularis oculi closes the eyelids and is innervated by cranial nerve 7. Patients with a facial nerve paralyses, such as after Bell’s Palsy, can’t close their eye and the eye may need to be patched (or sutured closed) to protect the cornea. The levator palpebrae opens the eye and is innervated by CN3. Oculomotor nerve palsy is the major cause of ptosis (drooping of the eye). In fact, a common surgical treatment for ptosis involves shortening the levator tendon to open up the eye. pillar
peripheral orbital space ( ps ); central orbital (intraconal) space ( CS ); optic nerve; superior rectus muscle ( S ) and inferior rectus muscle ( I ); inferior oblique muscle ( IO ); orbital septum ( curved arrow ); and common tendon of Zinn ( arrows ). Periosteum (periorbita) lines bony orbit as orbital fascia and is loosely attached to bony orbit. Periosteum is united with dura mater and sheath of optic nerve at optic canal. Normally, periosteum cannot be differentiated from adjacent soft tissues. Periosteum is continuous with periosteum of the bones of the face and is also continuous with layer of dura at superior orbital fissure. Note continuity of periorbita with periosteum of pterygomaxillary fossa ( PF ). Infection or infiltrative process of pterygomaxillary fossa may invade orbital subperiosteal space (periorbita) or vice versa.
Four rectus muscles control each eye. These muscles insert at the sclera, behind the limbus, and each pull the eye in the direction of their attachment. The superior, medial, and inferior rectus muscles are all controlled by the oculomotor nerve (III). The lateral rectus, however, is controlled by the abducens (VI) nerve, which makes sense as the lateral rectus “abducts” the eye.

Enhanced axial T1-weighted MR scan shows increased enhancement of the left optic nerve ( arrows ) and a large granuloma involving the intracranial segment of the left optic nerve ( single arrow ).
The main chronic inflammatory or granulomatous processes that involve the sinus and the orbit include Wegener’s granulomatosis and sarcoidosis.
Wegener’s granulomatosis with involvement of the lacrimal gland. Axial postcontrast CT scan shows diffuse enlargement of the right lacrimal gland. The lesion involves both palpebral and orbital lobes. Notice the rather straight configuration of the posterior aspect of the lesion ( hollow arrow ). In epithelial tumors of the lacrimal gland, the posterior border of the tumor has a rounded configuration. In Wegener’s granulomatosis, enlargement of the lacrimal gland may be symmetric and extensive. Notice the slight enlargement of the involved left lacrimal gland in this patient. (From Mafee MF et al. Lacrimal gland and fossa lesions: role of computed tomography. Radiol Clin North Am 1987;25:767–779.)
Wegener’s granuloma. Axial CT scan showing an infiltrative process involving the right lacrimal gland and extending along the extraorbital space ( arrows ).
B , Axial postcontrast T1 WI through the mid orbits demonstrates marked enhancement of the inflammatory granulomatous process, which completely obliterates the left orbit, with stretching and anterior displacement of the globe. Note the diffuse enhancement of the tentorium cerebelli. (From Weber AL et al. Pseudotumor of the orbit: clinical, pathologic, and radiologic evaluation. Radiol Clin North Am 1999;37:151–168.)
Amyloidosis of the right orbit with calcification. Axial CT section without infusion of contrast material reveals a mass in the extraconal space of the right orbit with a slight bulge into the intraconal space. Note the speckled calcifications within the amyloid deposit. The adjacent ethmoid sinus is normal.
Amyloidosis of the lacrimal gland and orbit. A , Axial CT scan shows marked calcification of the left lacrimal gland ( arrow ).

A baby boy with a left orbital capillary hemangioma that presented shortly after birth. A , Axial contrast-enhanced CT scan shows a mass filling and expanding the left orbit. The hemangioma appears to extend through the superior orbital fissure into the left cavernous sinus. The mass encircles and stretches the optic nerve sheath complex. Biopsy was performed but was inconclusive, and there was some discussion about further surgery. MR findings convinced the clinicians that this was a capillary hemangioma and the patient was treated with steroids instead. B , Axial T1-weighted MR image reveals a large, heterogeneous, finely lobulated mass expanding the left bony orbit. The focal regions of hypointensity are consistent with flow voids attributable to vessels. C , Axial T1-weighted MR scan shows that the capillary hemangioma involuted completely 2 years after the initial presentation.

A , Satittal PW MR scan. B , Sagittal T2-weighted MR scan. Scans show an intraconal mass ( M ), which was presumed to be a cavernous hemangioma.
Orbital hemangioma. Sagittal MR images obtained without ( top ) and with ( bottom ) intravenous Gd-DTPA show a hemangioma in the anterior floor of the orbit.
A , Orbital varix. Axial CT scan shows no obvious lesion. B , Coronal CT scan shows a large mass ( arrows ).
Carotid cavernous fistula. Enhanced axial CT scan shows enlarged intraorbital veins ( arrows ) and an enlarged left cavernous sinus.
Hemangiopericytoma in a 47-year-old man with proptosis of the left eye. Axial contrast-enhanced CT image shows a lobulated, slightly and homogeneously enhancing left ethmoid sinus mass that has eroded the medial orbital wall. Note the extraconal extension of the lesion into the orbit and the resultant displacement of the globe.
A , Contrast-enhanced axial CT scan shows an enhancing mass ( M ) compatible with hemangiopericytoma. Note the erosion of the lateral orbital wall ( arrowhead ). B , Recurrent hemangiopericytoma. Enhanced axial T1-weighted MR scan shows a heterogeneously enhancing mass ( arrows ) compatible with recurrent hemangiopericytoma.
Lymphoma. Postcontrast axial CT scan shows an infiltrative process involving the left lacrimal gland ( 1 ), lateral orbital compartment ( 2 ), and perioptic nerve region ( arrows ).
Nodular fasciitis. A 36-year-old man presented with an apparent inflammatory left orbital mass, which was unresponsive to 3 weeks of antibiotics. Axial (A) and coronal (B) contrast-enhanced CT. Soft-tissue windows show an ill-defined, enhancing, extraconal or subperiosteal soft-tissue mass in the left superior-lateral orbit, with a low-attenuation central area (arrowheads). Note the subtle enhancement along the anterior cranial fossa (arrow). C, Coronal CT bone windows demonstrate focal erosion in the frontal bone adjacent to this low-attenuation region (arrowhead). D, Coronal T1-weighted image (600/15) reveals an intermediate intensity extending lateral to the orbital rim in addition to eroding the frontal bone. E, Coronal, fat-saturation, postgadolinium, T1-weighted image (650/15). After gadolinium, most of the mass enhances, with a central, nonenhancing focus adjacent to the bone erosion. Note the intracranial dural reaction (arrow). F, Coronal, fast-STIR (2000/12/160) image. The mass is isointense to gray matter, with a focal area of hyperintensity corresponding to the cystic-appearing region on the postgadolinium image. The preoperative diagnosis was ruptured dermoid cyst or an aggressive lacrimal region abscess with osteomyelitis.
