Quantitative analysis of 'plaque material'in the inner-and outer wall of Schlemm's canal in normal-and glaucomatous eyes
E Lütjen-Drecoll, T Shimizu, M Rohrbach… - Experimental eye …, 1986 - Elsevier
The amount of plaque material derived from the sheaths of the elastic-like fibers in the
cribriform layer of the trabecular meshwork (sheath-derived or SD plaques) was
quantitatively evaluated in normal eyes and in trabeculectomy specimens of chronic simple,
intermittent angle closure, and pseudoexfoliation glaucoma. The amount of SD plaque
material increases with age but no correlation between age and SD plaques was found in
any of the glaucomas evaluated. In comparison to normal eyes, the amount of SD plaque …
