A Histologic Categorization of Aqueous Outflow Routes in Familial Open-Angle Glaucoma and Associations With Mutations in the MYOC Gene in Japanese Patients.

Although age matching of morphologic changes in the outflow routes was impossible due to the small sample size, this study suggests that abnormal TM cells may cause sequential damage in abnormally thickened TM basement membranes,…

Different patterns in the corneal endothelial cell loss after pars plana and pars limbal insertion of the Baerveldt glaucoma implant.

CE loss in the PL and PP cohorts was biphasic and unidirectional, respectively.

Histologic Findings of Trabecular Meshwork and Schlemm's Canal After Microhook Ab Interno Trabeculotomy.

DISCUSSION: The μLOT cleft can appear as both incisional and excisional patterns. In addition to incremental conventional outflow with reduced TM resistance, another unconventional outflow may be a mechanism of IOP reduction after LOT procedures.

Comparison of Schlemm's Canal Morphology Parameters Between Propensity Score-Matched Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma and Exfoliation Glaucoma.

These findings suggest that in EXG, SCE loss occurs independently of background factors such as aging and medication use.

Quantitative Evaluation of Trabecular Meshwork in Normal Tension Glaucoma Using Trabecular Meshwork Analyzing Software.

NTG should not be regarded as a normal variant, as structural abnormalities are present despite normal intraocular pressure.

Morphological Abnormalities of Schlemm's Canal in Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma From the Aspect of Aging.

Our findings suggest that SC in group A may easily collapse during middle age, while SC in group B remains open and SC endothelial cells drop out at around middle age.

Atopic Glaucoma: Clinical and Pathophysiological Analysis.

We would like to propose atopic glaucoma as a new clinical entity, ranging from pure atopic glaucoma to a mixed type of atopic/steroid-induced glaucoma that should be considered as one of the clinical features of…

Pathologic investigation failure of trabeculotomy.

Opening of SC into the anterior chamber observed in the eyes with failed trabeculotomy suggested that the enhancement of conventional routes may not be important for the intraocular pressure-lowering effect.
