Abstract
The two types of pathological chamber angle in children are type I and type II. Type I (Fig. 13.1) has thin pathological mesodermal remnants that cover the ciliary band of the chamber angles and sometimes slender extensions reach the Schwalbe line. Type II (Fig. 13.1) chamber angles are identified by the presence of thick pathological mesodermal remnants with apparent high iris insertion with black triangles and pillars. In both types, it is impossible to distinguish the ciliary body band.
