Inflammation
Inflammation in the anterior chamber and angle is typically secondary to inflammation in adjacent structures (Fig 7-6). It may be infectious (eg, herpes virus) or noninfectious (trauma, anterior uveitis). Inflammation in the angle structures can result in elevation of intraocular pressure due to obstruction of aqueous outflow.
