Tenon's capsule

Index Tenon's capsule

The fascia bulbi (also known as the capsule of Tenon and the bulbar sheath) is a thin membrane which envelops the eyeball from the optic nerve to the limbus, separating it from the orbital fat and forming a socket in which it moves. [1]

Charles Barrett Lockwood

Charles Barrett Lockwood (23 September 1856 – 8 November 1914) was a British surgeon and anatomist who practiced surgery at St. Bartholomew's Hospital in London.

Lacrimal bone

The lacrimal bone is the smallest and most fragile bone of the skull and face; it is roughly the size of the little fingernail.

Lacrimal gland

The lacrimal glands are paired, almond-shaped exocrine glands, one for each eye, that secrete the aqueous layer of the tear film.

Lateral rectus muscle

The lateral rectus muscle is a muscle on the lateral side of the eyeball in the orbit.

Levator palpebrae superioris muscle

The levator palpebrae superioris (Latin for: elevating muscle of upper eyelid) is the muscle in the orbit that elevates the superior (upper) eyelid.

Local anesthetic

A local anesthetic (LA) is a medication that causes reversible absence of pain sensation, although other senses are often affected, as well.

Medial rectus muscle

The medial rectus muscle is a muscle in the orbit.

Meninges

The meninges (singular: meninx, from membrane, adjectival: meningeal) are the three membranes that envelop the brain and spinal cord.

Optic nerve

The optic nerve, also known as cranial nerve II, is a paired nerve that transmits visual information from the retina to the brain.

Perimysium

Perimysium is a sheath of connective tissue that groups muscle fibers into bundles (anywhere between 10 and 100 or more) or fascicles.

Periscleral lymph space

The periscleral lymph space or episcleral space of the eye is the space between the outer surface of the sclera and the inner surface of the capsule of Ténon.

Retrobulbar block

A retrobulbar block is a regional anesthetic nerve block in the retrobulbar space, the area located behind the globe of the eye.

Sclera

The sclera, also known as the white of the eye, is the opaque, fibrous, protective, outer layer of the human eye containing mainly collagen and some elastic fiber.

Subdural space

The subdural space (or subdural cavity) is a potential space that can be opened by the separation of the arachnoid mater from the dura mater as the result of trauma, pathologic process, or the absence of cerebrospinal fluid as seen in a cadaver.

Superior oblique muscle

The superior oblique muscle, or obliquus oculi superior, is a fusiform muscle originating in the upper, medial side of the orbit (i.e. from beside the nose) which abducts, depresses and internally rotates the eye.

Superior rectus muscle

The superior rectus muscle is a muscle in the orbit.

Suspensory ligament of eyeball

The suspensory ligament of eyeball (or Lockwood's ligament) forms a hammock stretching below the eyeball between the medial and lateral check ligaments and enclosing the inferior rectus and inferior oblique muscles of the eye.

Tarsus (eyelids)

The tarsi (tarsal plates) are two comparatively thick, elongated plates of dense connective tissue, about in length; one is found in each eyelid, and contributes to its form and support.
