Where is the nasolacrimal duct opening located? 

Under the inferior turbinate

100

Identify condition + how to treat

Complete punctual atresia 

CDCR (conjunctivodacryocystorhinostomy)

100

How do newborns acquire infectious neonatal conjunctivitis

Through direct contact during passage through the birth canal (infections can ascend to the uterus so babies delivered by C section can still get infected)

100

Name the most common cause of preventable blindness in the world

Trachoma (C. trachomatis serotypes A-C)

100

What is the best test that correlates with dry eye disease severity in children

Fluorescein staining

200

What is the prevalence of congenital NLDO? 

5% of newborns affected

20% in Down syndrome

200


Diagnose + Treat

Congenital lacrimal fistula 

Observe. If discharge present (distal NLDO can probe), can suture close if persists despite patent NLD

200

Describe the differences between Chlamydia and N. Gonorrhea ophthalmia neonatorum? (time to sx, ocular signs, systemic complications and treatment)

Chlamydia: inclusion conjunctivitis, onset 1 week, minimal/moderate filmy discharge, mild swelling, hyperemia, papillary reaction (follicular in adults), risk of pneumonitis/ OM, Tx= oral erythromycin x 14 days or Azithromycin x 3 days. 

Gonorrhea: GNID, 3-4 days, copious discharge potentially corneal ulceration and perforation, risk of sepsis/ meningitis/ arthritis. Tx= systemic ceftriaxone and topical saline irrigation + top Abx if cornea involved. 

200
What should you suspect in a child with inclusion conjunctivitis


Sexual abuse (cause with Chlamydia serotypes D-K) 

200

What is a special consideration in children with dry eye syndrome

Vitamin A deficiency

300

At what age should you probe if NLDO does not resolve spontaneously? 

BONUS +100: what is the success rate of the initial probing if done at appropriate time? 

12 months (90% of patients improved within 9-12 months)

80% or more

300

In this condition, which structure prevents decompression of the lacrimal sac

Valve of Rosenmuller. 


300

List the 4 most common causes of bacterial conjunctivitis in school-aged children

Strep pneumo, Haemophilus sp., S. Aureus, Moraxella

300

How does molluscum contagiosum cause conjunctivitis? What kind of conjunctivitis

Lesion next to eyelid directly release viral particles resulting in follicular conjunctivitis
300

Type of hypersensitivity reaction for seasonal AK, perennial AK and the difference between them

Seasonal: type 1 to seasonal allergens in spring/ fall 

Perennial: type 1 to ubiquitous household allergens (year long)

400

List all the structures your probe passes through when probing NLD

punctum, canaliculus, common canaliculus, valve of rosenmuller, lacrimal sac, nasolacrimal duct, valve of hasner


400

NLD probing alone is curative in what % of patient with Dacryocystocele 

25%

Rest needs probing in combo w nasal endoscopy (BILATERAL) and intranasal cyst removal

400

What is Parinaud oculoglandular syndrome and name 3 organisms that can cause it

Unilateral granulomatous conjunctivitis associated with preauricular and submandibular lymphadenopathy. 

Bartonella henselae (most common), Mycobacterium tuberculosis or leprae, Francisella Tularensis, Yersenia, Syphilis, Chlamydia. 

400

How are conjunctival papillomas managed

observation, if too big and irritation oral CIMETIDINE 

400

Name this and where do you typically see those

Limbal form of VKC (thickening and opacification of limbus) Horner trantas dots- raised whitish center filled with eosinophils and epithelial cells

500

What does DCR stand for and what does it entail? 

Dacryocystorhinostomy- new opening created between lacrimal sac and nasal cavity

500

Differential diagnosis of dacryocystocele (name all 3)

Hemangioma (vascular appearance), Dermoid cyst, Encephalocele (later 2 are ABOVE medial canthal tendon)

500

Name the 4 types of adenoviral diseases

Double points if you can name ALL serotypes

- epidemic keratoconjunctivitis (serotypes 8,19,37, subgroupD)

- pharygoconjunctival fever (3,7)

- Acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis (11,21)

- Acute follicular conjunctivitis (1,2,3,4,7,10)

500

Describe the typical course of EKC (with durations)

Acute follicular conjunctivitis followed by diffuse superficial keratitis, followed by focal epithelial lesions. After 11-15 days sub epithelial opacities begin. epithelial component fades by day 30 but subepi opacities can remain for up to 2 years.

500

Most common cause of SJS/TEN in children

Medications: anticonvulsants and sulfonamides

Infections: Mycoplasma or herpes simplex
