Approach to proptosis

Notas do Editor

  1. Upper limit for Caucasians and Asians is 21mm, African and americans – 24mm
  2. ExophthalmosProptosis due to endocrine cause Exorbitism:Decrease in volume of orbit causing orbital contents to protrude forwards Dystopia: Displacement of globe in coronal plane
  3. False impression of proptosis Shallow orbit seen in craniosynostosis
  4. Anteriorly widest area of orbit
  5. Infectious -orbital cellulitis, abscess, cavernous sinus thrombosis inflammatory-tb sarcoidosis Vascular-orbital varix Neoplastic-lymphoma leukemia retinoblastoma
  6. Acute: several minutes to days :orbital hematoma, ruptured dermoid ,orbital cellulitis ,orbital emphysema Subacute : period of weeks ;orbital inflammatory disease thyroid orbitopathy Chronic: more insidious onset over several months :benign tumors
  7. Globe is protruded forward in line of orbital axis ,Axial – globe is pushed forward by mass just behind eyeball ,lesion most likely present in intraconal space Metastasis involving intraconal space
  8. If globe is pushed downward and inward- lesion is in superotemporal quardrant - lacrimal gland tumor If globe is pushed downward and outward- lesion is in superonasal quadrand-child-m/c location of rhabdomyosarcoma in adult- mucocele- can be mucocele or frontoethmoidal mucocele If globe is pushed up and lateral- lesion is in infero medial quardrant- lesion involving lacrimal sac
  9. Congenital-dermoid, teratoma traumatic-orbital hematoma IOFB, inflammaroty-inflammation of orbital tissue, lacrimal gland, whole globe(panophthalmitis) tb Tomors-rhabdomyosarcoma, lymphangioma hemangioma, optic nerve glioma
  10. Anomalies-craniofacial dystocia, oxycephaly Inflammatory –fungal granuloma Tumors-lymphoma leukemia neuroblastoma oateopathy ricket acromegaly Systemic-systemic histocytosis, Wegener granulomatosis, systemic amyloidosis
  11. Congenital lesions like craniosynostotis, cephalocele, microphthalmia with cyst, teratoma Child born with proptosis- m/c teratoma , cystic eyeball
  12. Metastasis –metastatic neuroblastoma
  13. Tumors extending from adjacent areas-lacrimal gland, sinuses , lids metastasis from breast lung prostate CA
  14. Ocular history medical history family history Ocular examination- inspection palpation auscultation and measurement of proptosis
  15. Onset- sudden onset or gradual onset Course whether it is stationary or gradually progressing Progression it is acute or chronic Pain either bcoz of infection or inflammation or tumor with perineural invasion esp lacrimal gland tumor , diplopia-either muscle is affected or nerve supplying muscle is affected. Reduction of vision-either lesion is involving optic nerve or compressing optic nerve or lesion itself causing retinal choroidal changes
  16. In general we need to ask about medical history in all case not only in proptosis. In proptosis we specifically ask abt thyroid dzs-thyroid eye disease in hyper is hypo, if old age pt with history of diabetes comes with sudden onset of proptosis- mucoromycosis,TB-it can cause orbital inflammation-m/c tissue involved in TB is lacrimal gland,sarcoidosis-B/l lacrimal gland involvement. Neurofibromatosis if pt is aware- optic nerve glioma, infiltration of orbital tissue by neurofibromatous tissue, systematic cancer- d/t metastasis
  17. If mother has thyroid dzs it can transmit to child, neurofibromatosis Certain cancer can be hereditary eg breast cancer ovary cancer
  18. Facial asymmetry in cranialdystosia neurofibromatosis Globe displacement ll give a clue where lesion is arising from Pulsating proptosis occurs in direct pulsation d/t highly vascular tumor ortransmitted pulsation of csf pulsation in neurofibromatosis absence of greater wing of sphenoid , in trauma Positional proptosis in Valsalva in orbital varices,pt comes with h/o proptosis apparent while bending forward Color of lesion if it is visible- hemangioa- red color lymphangioma-blue colour Surrounding area-red inflamed suggest infectious cause
  19. Ecchymosis- h/o trauma If no h/o trauma-suspect metastatic neuroblastoma
  20. S- shaped eye lid- plexiform neurofibroma, Eczematous lesion of eyelid-mycosis fungoids
  21. Localized hyperemia-gives clue where lesion is present Salmon colored patch-indicative of orbital lymphoma Cockscrew vessel-caroticocavernous fistula, gives h/o trauma with this vessels
  22. In proptosis they are risk of developing exposure keratitis Stain-SPK in inferior quardrand Young pt with PUK with proptosis associated with autoimmune disease-Wegener granulomatosis
  23. Lynch nodules: gives clue for neurofibromatosis Presence of RAPD with proptosis – either lesion is involving optic nerve or causing compression of optic nerve
  24. Fundus changes d/t raised IOP optic atropy in ,meningioma choroidal folds-d/t enlargement of retrobulbar structure Retinal vascular changes- venous dilatation, vascular occlusion
  25. Ask pt to close eyes and place a thumb n press on globe and feel if there is resistance or no resistance, resistance-solid mass, no resistance-vascular mass Pulsation occur in caroticocavernous fistula –thrill can be +, if highly vascular tumor ,palpate orbital rim-if tenderness- infection or inflammation, irregular curvature- malignant lesion, preauricular submandibular cervical nodes
  26. Ausculation is important in caroticocavernous fistula , bell of stethoscope , with bruit- carotid cavernous fistula,orbital AV malformation . Without bruit-neurofibromatosis,meningoencephalocele
  27. Patient is asked to tilt head back and examiner looks up from below
  28. Examiner stands behind the patient, patient head is slightly tilted backward, and examiner sees from back, normally eyes are seen jst at level of orbital rim, if eye protusion is seen  proptosis
  29. Ruler is placed in front of the eye and the space between the eye and the ruler is noted
  30. It is transparent plastic ruler which is thicker than normal ruler it is placed on lateral orbital wall and protusiion is measured
  31. It is used to determined the axial position of eyes , placed on lateral orbital rim on each side, pt is asked to dlook at center of examiners forehead Measure pt left eye with examiners rt eye and vice versa Find the position fo corneal apex in mm in prism
  32. Uses frontal and maxillary bone as references , useful in fracture patients when lateral canthus has been displaced
  33. Periorbital changes- look for lid changes- s shaped lid-plexiform neurofibroma, eczematous lesion-mycosis fugoids –lid swelling ,conjunctival changes-salmon color mass-orbital lymphoma, crockscrew vessels caroticocavernous fistula
  34. Tonometry-imp in TED,measure IOP in primary gaze and ask pt to look upgaze and again measure IOP and measure the difference in IOP between straight gaze and upgaze if difference is <6mm-non significant- indicates neurological lesion if >6mm of hg- positive seen in TED d/t IR muscle restriction- Braley’s sign Forced duction test-to determine whether the absence of eye movement is d/t neurological or mechanical cause
  35. Thyroid disease- dry skin ,examine thyoid gland for enlargement Features of tb-cachexic papable lymph node Café au lait spots ,
  36. TC DC HB ESR,ANA- autoimmune disease, C-anca- wegenrer granulomatosis, ACE- sarcoidosis Casonis to r/o hydatid cyst Stool –cysts/ova Urine –bence jones protein-MM
  37. Choice of imaging should be based on clinical presentation and the specific pathology being suspected
  38. Plane of scan should be parallel to plane passing thro opticnerve head and lens with eyelids open and pt looking st ahead, interzygomatic line is drawn first,st line connecting ant margin of zygomatic processes. Distance from posterior sclera margin to IZL is measured- 9.9+-1.7mm.
  39. MRI doenst employ isonizing radiation and has no known adverse biological effects
  40. Carotid angiography in aneurysms/ AV malformations
  41. Exact diagnosis of many orbital lesions cannot be made without help of histopathological studies, FNAC-samples are collected using thin hole needles Incisional biopsy –a piece of tissue is removed from a mass, excisional biopsy –whole lesion or mass is removed
