Under the auspices of the World Association of Veterinary Anatomists (W.A.V.A.), the International Committee on Veterinary Anatomical Nomenclature (I.C.V.A.N.) appointed in Giessen, 1965, a Subcommittee on Histology and Embryology which started a working relation with the Subcommittee on Histology of the former International Anatomical Nomenclature Committee. In Mexico City, 1971, this Subcommittee presented a document entitled Nomina Histologica Veterinaria: A Working Draft as a basis for the continued work of the newly-appointed Subcommittee on Histological Nomenclature. This resulted in the editing of the Nomina Histologica Veterinaria: A Working Draft II (Toulouse, 1974), followed by preparations for publication of a Nomina Histologica Veterinaria.

The first report was that of Puech (i 887) who described an adenoma ofthe choroid in an adult female. The lesion had the appearance of lacrimal gland tissue which was adherent to the sclera and the retina. After an interval of 65 years Christensen and Anderson (I 952) described ectopic lacrimal gland tissue within the sclera, ciliary body, limbus, and iris in an infant of 2 weeks. Bruce (I 952) described a case in the iris of a 2-month-old boy who was 2 weeks premature. No other abnormalities were noted in these infants. Hunter (i 960) described a fourth case in which ectopic cystic lacrimal gland tissue was seen in the ciliary body, iris, and sclera. The fifth case was described by Dallachy (i96i) in a 2-month-old female infant; ectopic lacrimal gland tissue was seen in the ciliary body and iris. A search of the literature since I96I revealed only one other case of intraocular lacrimal gland tissue (Green and Zimmerman, I967); their patient was a s-month-old child with ectopic lacrimal gland tissue in the limbal area and a nodule ofsimilar tissue in the chamber angle, on the anterior copyright. surface of the iris, and in the ciliary body.

  • TEAR PRODUCTION and DRAINAGE the Lacrimal Gland Is Located in the Superolateral Aspect of the Eyelid Below the Eyebrow(S)
    Anatomy and Physiology 9 The conjunctiva is a mucous membrane that lines the upper and lower eyelids and extends over the sclera to the corneal margin. It contains lym- phoid tissue, which provides some immunology protection. It is innervated by CN V, the trigeminal nerve. The portion of the conjunctiva that covers the sclera is termed the bulbar conjunctiva; the portion covering the inner surface of the eyelids is termed the palpebral conjunctiva. Figure 1. Eyelid Muscles TEAR PRODUCTION AND DRAINAGE The lacrimal gland is located in the superolateral aspect of the eyelid below the eyebrow(s). It secretes watery (aqueous) tears and produces about 0.2 ml of tears in 24 hours. Aqueous tears flow downward and inward toward the tear drainage system at the inner canthus. In addition to aqueous tears, several glands located in the conjunctiva and eyelid margins secrete oily and sticky (mucous) tears. The meibomian glands are located within the tarsal plate of the eyelid and secrete oily tears. The glands of Zeiss, Moll, Wolfing, and Krause secrete sticky tears. These three types of tears provide moisture and protection to the surface of the eye(s). With each blink, tears are pushed across the eye toward the puncta located at the medial junction of the upper and lower eyelids. From the puncta, tears are pushed into the canaliculi and then into the lacrimal sac. 10 Essentials of Ophthalmic Nursing They are drained from the lacrimal sac and nasolacrimal duct to the inside of the nose and down the throat (see Figure 2). Figure 2. Lacrimal System TEAR FILM The tear film has three distinct layers.

  • Excessive Tearing (Epiphora ))
    EExxcceessssiivvee TTeeaarriinngg ((EEppiipphhoorraa)) www.theeyecenter.com A healthy eye is a wet eye, thanks to the workings of the lacrimal (tear duct) system around the eyes. The lacrimal gland is found above the outer edge of the eye under the eyebrow. The lacrimal duct, which forms tears, is found on the inside corner of your eye and down the side of the nose. For various reasons, this system can malfunction and cause the eye(s) to be continuously wet. Symptoms The tear duct is the passage through which the tears drain off the eye. When it becomes blocked or plugged, it may lead to: • Constant tearing • Redness and swelling in and around the eyes • Infection • Pain Alexandria Fairfax Sterling Leesburg 703-931-9100 703-573-8080 703-430-4400 703-858-3170 The blockage may be due to: • Mucous buildup in the lacrimal duct at birth and in infancy • Ingrown eyelashes • Thick or hardened discharge from an eye infection such as conjunctivitis (pink eye) • Continued exposure to allergens that irritate the eyes • Obstruction due to airborne irritants especially in the work environment (i.e. dust, chemicals, smoke or pollution) • Other eye conditions, such as a stye, that cause the eye to have an unusual discharge that can harden and plug the lacrimal duct. Treatment The ophthalmologist will examine the eye and may probe the tear duct to determine if a blockage exists. Initially, antibiotic drops may be prescribed to treat the infection, and possibly corticosteroid drops to treat any swelling. The blockage can often be worked loose by massaging the tear duct along the side of the eye and down the nose.

  • Ectopic Lacrimal Glandular Tissue Within the Eyeball*
    Br J Ophthalmol: first published as 10.1136/bjo.45.12.808 on 1 December 1961. Downloaded from Brit. J. Ophthal. (1961) 45, 808. ECTOPIC LACRIMAL GLANDULAR TISSUE WITHIN THE EYEBALL* BY RUSSELL DALLACHY From the Clinical Laboratories, Victoria Infirmary of Glasgow ALTHOUGH there are many small accessory lacrimal glands present in upper and lower eyelids, it is very uncommon for them to undergo adenomatous hyperplasia, and it is extremely rare for lacrimal glandular tissue to be found on or in the eyeball. An example of the second type of malformation is recorded in the present paper. It is the third case in which apparently normal lacrimal glandular tissue has formed a relatively large mass in the substance of the iris and ciliary body. Seven cases in which similar tissue occurred deep to the conjunctiva are also reviewed briefly. Case Report A female infant was first seen at the age of 2 months. The parents had noticed that the left eye had been abnormal since birth. Examination.-A pink, nodular, fleshy tumour was present in the anterior chamber of the left eye and occupied most of the upper nasal quadrant. It appeared to arise from the ciliary body. The appearance ofthe left optic fundus was normal. There was no increase in the size of the tumour over the ensuing 6 months. Diagnoses considered were leio- myoma of iris, neurofibroma, and diktyoma (medullo-epithelioma), but no firm conclusion was reached before operation. The appearances of the tumour just before it was excised are shown in Fig. 1. http://bjo.bmj.com/ on October 2, 2021 by guest.
