    Citation Excerpt :

    The current results—that the anterior chamber angle is narrower superiorly or inferiorly than elsewhere and that appositional angle closure is most frequently observed superiorly—are consistent with the results of Bhargava et al.1 It must be noted, however, that there are unidentified factors other than appositional angle closure in the pathogenesis of PAS and acute angle closure. Kesseler29 and Gorin30 forwarded the hypothesis that angle closure extends from posterior (the scleral spur) to anterior (Schwalbe's line), especially when angle closure develops acutely. Conversely, Sakuma et al divided appositional closure into the S type, in which appositional closure starts in the vicinity of Schwalbe's line, and the B type, in which it starts at the bottom of the angle, and suggested that two thirds of appositional closures start as the S type.22
