Abstract

SIMPLE OCULOPLASTIC CONDITIONS SUCH AS PTOSIS AND MOTILITY DISTURBANCES – CAN BE THE PRESENTING FEATURES OF COMPLEX CONDITIONS SUCH AS MYASTHENIA GRAVIS, CHRONIC PROGRESSIVE EXTERNAL OPHTHALMOPLEGIA, INVASIVE FUNGAL RHINO-ORBITAL-CEREBRAL INFECTIONS AMONG OTHERS. THE AIM OF THIS COURSE IS TO PROVIDE A COMPREHENSIVE OVERVIEW OF POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS CONDITIONS THAT PRESENT TO THE OCULOPLASTIC SURGEON AND GIVE A DETAILED INSIGHT INTO THE IDENTIFYING THE RED FLAGS, CLINICAL SIGNS AND IMAGING MODALITIES THAT HELP DIAGNOSIS. THE COURSE COVERS KEY MASQUERADE CONDITIONS WHERE OCULOPLASTICS, NEUROLOGY AND ONCOLOGY CONVERGE.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

1. EVALUATE ANY CASE OF PTOSIS AND WEED OUT THE RED FLAGS.

2. IDENTIFY AND DIAGNOSE MYASTHENIA GRAVIS AND REQUEST RELEVANT INVESTIGATIONS.

3. DIAGNOSE 3RD NERVE PALSY, CPEO, THYROID EYE DISEASE AND OTHER LIFE-THREATENING CONDITIONS WITH SYSTEMIC IMPLICATIONS SUCH AS PRIMARY AND SECONDARY TUMOURS WHICH CAN PRESENT FIRST TO THE OCULOPLASTIC SURGEON.
