This document discusses several fundamental laws of ocular motility:
- Donder's law states that the orientation of the retinal meridian is determined by the position of the eye and is consistent regardless of the path taken to reach that position.
- Listing's law states that all eye movements from the primary position involve rotation around a single axis in the equatorial plane.
- Hering's law states that corresponding muscles in both eyes always receive equal innervation during eye movements.
- Sherrington's law of reciprocal innervation states that the agonist muscle contracts with increased innervation while the antagonist muscle relaxes with decreased innervation during eye movements.
This document discusses target intraocular pressure (IOP) for treating glaucoma. It defines target IOP as the upper limit of IOP that prevents further glaucoma damage. Establishing an individualized target IOP is important to slow retinal ganglion cell loss and glaucoma progression over a patient's lifetime with minimal effects on quality of life. The target IOP should be based on factors like the amount of existing eye damage, maximum past IOP levels, life expectancy, and risk factors. The target is dynamic and must be reevaluated periodically, lowering it if damage progresses or raising it if side effects occur from low IOP. Clinical studies show that greater IOP reductions correlate with less glaucoma progression

2) Evaluation of proptosis involves taking history of onset and symptoms, examining for signs of inflammation, restricted eye movement, and proptosis measurement. Investigations include imaging and biopsy.
3) Orbital cellulitis is a serious infection behind the orbital septum treated with intravenous antibiotics and possibly surgery. Dysthyroid ophthalmopathy causes eye changes like proptosis and diplopia managed initially with oral steroids.
Presentation1.pptx. radiological imaging of epilepsy.Abdellah Nazeer
1) Hippocampal sclerosis, characterized by hippocampal atrophy and increased signal intensity on MRI, is the most common epileptogenic abnormality found after epilepsy surgery.
2) Malformations of cortical development, including focal cortical dysplasias and heterotopias, are also common epileptogenic lesions found in surgical series, especially in patients with childhood-onset seizures.
3) In addition to structural abnormalities, low-grade gliomas and hamartomas located near the cerebral cortex are also important causes of drug-resistant epilepsy that may require surgery.
1) Radiological imaging, especially MRI, plays a key role in epilepsy diagnosis and treatment planning by identifying anatomical abnormalities.
2) Common abnormalities include hippocampal sclerosis, malformations of cortical development, tumors, and vascular malformations.
3) Hippocampal sclerosis appears on MRI as atrophy and increased signal intensity of the hippocampus. Malformations of cortical development are caused by defects in cortical development and appear as abnormalities such as lissencephaly, heterotopias, or polymicrogyria.
Heard of people being unable to see other people's faces if not fr failure of recognition of people's faces (prosapagnosia)...then they need to get their retina in particular macula checked! And a bunch of other macular disorders are enlisted nd elaborated in the presentation
Case Report and Clinical Findings of Central Serous RetinopathyDan Mulder
Central Serous Retinopathy (CSR) is a retinal disease caused by a serous detachment of the retina. The case report details examination findings and diagnostic testing for a patient diagnosed with CSR. Imaging including fundus photos, OCT, and angiography can help diagnose CSR by identifying fluid detachments and leakages. While the cause is unknown, CSR is often self-limiting and treatments may include observation, anti-inflammatory drugs, or laser photocoagulation depending on severity and chronicity. This patient was initially observed but later prescribed NSAIDs due to the chronic nature of the detachment.
This document provides information about strabismus (squint) including its definition, causes, types, and methods of examination and treatment. It defines strabismus as an ocular deviation resulting from an extraocular muscle imbalance. The main causes discussed are optical obstacles like refractive errors, sensory obstacles like uniocular vision defects, and motor obstacles involving the muscles or nerves. The document describes examining a patient for squint including testing visual acuity, eye movements, the cover-uncover test, and assessing binocular vision. It also discusses heterophoria (latent squint), paralytic squint, and treatment approaches.
This document provides an overview of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and several case examples demonstrating its clinical applications. The key points covered include:
- MRI works by detecting tiny movements of protons in tissue when exposed to magnetic fields. Different sequences like T1 and T2 provide different tissue contrasts.
- Brain MRI is very useful for detecting lesions and assessing anatomy without radiation. Several brain cases demonstrate common conditions like tuberculoma, multiple sclerosis, and mitochondrial disease.
- Spine MRI is now the primary imaging method for evaluating the spine. Examples show common spinal pathologies and the importance of classification of disc abnormalities.
- MRI has many clinical uses beyond the brain and spine, such as cardiac imaging

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.

Local Advanced Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex Sys...Oleg Kshivets
Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).
2. • Most common isolated cranial nerve palsy in strabismic patients.
• Traditionally classified as Congenital and Acquired.
• Treatment is based on deviation and not on aetiology.
3. CAUSES OF SO PALSY:
CONGENITAL
1. Laxity of the tendon (redundant tendon)
2. Abnormally long tendon.
3. Misdirected tendon
4. Absent tendon
5. Posterior insertion into tenon’s and not sclera
The tendon anomaly is secondary to denervation or a
primary anatomical defect is debatable.
MRI REPORTS have suggested volume reduction in
congenital SO palsy cases but not so in acquired cases.
ACQUIRED
1. Trauma
2. Idiopathic
3. Tumour
4. Inflammation
5. Infection
6. Aneurysm
7. Iatrogenic: neuro sx, sinus sx, orbital sx
Acquired cases have normal tendon
• Sudden onset SO palsy without h/o trauma, in most instances is decompensated congenital SO palsy.*
• MG and MS may present with isolated SO palsy of insidious onset, mimicking congenital case.*
* Von Noorden
4. SYMPTOMS OF SO PALSY:
• Asthenopia.
• Patients c/o diplopia- vertical, torsional, diagonal.
• Cervical discomfort due to AHP.
• AHP: Head tilt to opposite side, face turn to same side and chin down in V pattern esotropias.
• Facial asymmetry: midfacial hypoplasia on the side of tilt.
• **Paradoxical head tilt.
• Diplopia MC in acquired cases, but reported in upto 25% congenital cases.
• Image tilting with Vertical diplopia occurs only in acquired cases.
• SO MUSCLE CAUSES DEPRESSION, INTORSION, ABDUCTION OF THE EYE.
• THUS ITS PARALYSIS CAUSES HYPERTROPIA, EXCYCLOTORSION, V PATTERN ESOTROPIA
( esp B/L SO palsy cases)
5. MUSCLE ACTION:
• Depression : Greatest in adduction
• Incyclotorsion: Greater in down gaze and abduction
• Abduction: Primarily in down gaze
• Diagnosis of SO palsy is by the presence of hypertropia, which is greatest in the nasal field of the
involved eye, but not necessarily in the direction of the paralysed muscle.
• Hypertropia is due to unopposed overaction of its antagonist, IO, greatest in adduction.
• Due to spread of comitance, with secondary contracture of I/L SR, the hypertropia may involve the
entire lower field of gaze. This can be easily seen on FDT.
• There may be associated pseudo-overaction of C/L SO, due to secondary deviation.
6. Knapp’s and Moore introduced a classification
describing the most common manifestations,
depending upon the magnitude of hypertropia in
the diagnostic position of gaze.
7 classes are distinguished.
7. DIAGNOSIS:
1. PARK THREE STEP TEST: based on the Bielchowsky head tilt phenomenon.
STEP 1: identifying the hypertropic eye:
thus, it’s the paresis of the SO and IR of the hypertropic eye or the IO and SR of hypotropic eye
STEP2: hypertropia increasing on lateral gazes:
obliques have greater action in adduction and vertical recti in abduction,
thus right hypertropia increasing in right gaze points to Right IR or left SO;
and Right hypertropia increasing in left gaze is due to either Right SO or left SR.
STEP 3: hypertropia increasing in which head tilt:
to remember superiors are intortors and inferiors are extortors,
the eye on the side of tilt has intorsion and the other extorsion,
hence right hypertropia increasing in right head tilt points to right superiors and left inferiors.
Now at the end we will conclude upon the single cyclovertical muscle which is paralysed
9. 2. TORSION- subjective methods: double maddox rod test, synaptophore, hess charting
objective method: fundus examination and photographs.
• Congenital cases usually have no/ minimal torsion.
• Acquired cases have measurable degree of torsion.
• B/L cases have > 10 degrees of excyclotorsion.
3. VERSION- gives an idea of the overaction and underactions of the diff muscles.
I/L SO Underaction, I/L IO overaction and C/L SO “apparent” overaction.
4. Neuroimaging in acquired cases- brainstem lesions –INO, Horner’s, Parinaud syndrome, ataxia.
Isolated u/l so palsy: aneurysm of Sup cerebellar art and ICA
10. UNILATERAL SO PALSY
• Incomitant hypertropia, usually greatest in the
nasal field of the eye with the paralysis;
• Underaction of the involved superior oblique
muscle and/or overaction of its antagonistic
inferior oblique muscle; and
• Increase of hypertropia tilting the head toward
the paralyzed side (positive Bielschowsky's test)
BILATERAL SO PALSY
• Right hypertropia in left gaze and left hypertropia
in right gaze
• A positive Bielschowsky test to both shoulders
• Underaction of both superior oblique muscles
and/or overaction of both inferior oblique muscles
• Chin down
• V pattern esotropia> 15PD
• Objective extorsion >10degrees
• h/o Head trauma
11. MUSCLE SEQUELAE IN SO PALSY:
• UNDERACTON OF I/L SO
• OVERACTION OF C/L SYNERGIST - C/L IR
• OVERACTION OF I/L DIRECT ANTAGONIST – I/L IO
• UNDERACTION OF ANTAGONIST OF C/L SYNERGIST- C/L SR (inhibitional palsy)
12. MANAGEMENT
• PRE-OP MEASUREMENTS OF THE DEVIATION IN ALL GAZES.
• MEASUREMENT IN OBLIQUE FIELDS HELP IN DIAGNOSIS OF MASKED B/L SO PALSY
• INTRAOP: FDT TO LOOK FOR RESTRICTIVE AND PARALYTIC MUSCLES.
• EXAGERRATED FDT FOR LAXITY OF THE TENDON. PICTURE

• IF EXCYCLOTORSION<10PD, HARA ITO IS NOT PERFORMED
• FOR V-PATTERN ESO AND DIPLOPIA ON SIDE GAZES, IO WEAKENING ON 1/BOTH SIDES WITH IR RECESSION B/L
17. COMPLICATIONS:
• Overcorrection causes diplopia in opposite gaze due the fusional vergence
amplitude developed in the direction of pre-op deviation
• Brown’s syndrome, diplopia in upgaze esp dur to so tuck procedure.
18. DIFFERNTIAL DIAGNOSIS:
1. SKEW DEVIATION- sudden acquired hyperdeviation with other neurologic signs, with no
measurable torsion.
2. THYROID REATED OPHTHALMOPATHY- IR is most commonly affected.
3. BROWN’S SYNDROME- I/L IO underaction.
4. PRIMARY IO OVERACTION- absence of primary position hypertropia, negative Bielchowsy
head tilt, lack of torsion.
5. PSEUDOPARALYSIS-plagiocephaly, due to retroplacement of the trochlea.
19. SALIENT POINTS:
1. IO myectomy has a greater reduction in PP hypertropia >15pd , whereas, disinsertion of IO
was effective in <15pd. *
• Myectomy is irreversible and chances of bleeding are more; not so with disinsertion.
*Akbari MR, Sadeghi AM, Ghadimi H, Nikdel M. Outcome of inferior oblique disinsertion versus myectomy in the surgical
treatment of unilateral congenital superior oblique palsy. Journal of American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and
Strabismus. 2019 Mar 15.
20. 2. Single muscle sx with IO weakening is effective for upto 15pd deviations, two muscle sx are
preferred for larger deviations.
- 2muscle sx can be IO weakening and SO tuck.**
- 2muscle sx can be IO weakening and IR recession.***

muscle myectomy. Ophthalmology. 1986 Aug 1;93(8):1023-7.
** *Hatz KB, Brodsky MC, Killer HE. When is isolated inferior oblique muscle surgery an appropriate
treatment for superior oblique palsy?. European journal of ophthalmology. 2006 Jan;16(1):10-6.
21. 3. SO tuck procedures have excellent surgical outcome wrt decreasing angle of deviation,
diplopia but has r/o acquired brown’s syndrome.***
4. Even in long standing congenital SO palsy cases with moderate to large angle deviation, IO
weakening is better than IO weakening with SO tuck due to risk of overcorrection and brown’s
syndrome.
5. SR recession combined with IO weakening in cases of SR contracture works well.

FUNCTIONS:
Incyclotorsion- greatest in down and out gaze
Depression- greatest in adduction
Abduction- primarily in downgaze
Blunt trauma, direct injury to trochlea or tendon during blepharoplasty is reported.
Image tilting with vertical diplopia occurs in acquired palsy under casual conditions , however after dissociation with Maddox rod, cyclotropia and image tilting in congenital cases may be elicited.
Depression Greatest in adduction
IncyclotorsionGreater in down gaze and abduction
AbductionPrimarily in down gaze
Apparent OA is due to tight SR which prevents infraduction of paretic eye. Thus there appears SOOA of normal eye
