Abstract
Background: UBM is a high‑resolution ultrasound technique

segment and iridocorneal angle. Purpose: This video is

compilation of short video clips and images which gives
description on identification of angle closure due to pupillary
block, peripheral anterior synechiae, iris bombe, plateau iris,
supra ciliary effusion, and malignant glaucoma. It also shows
video demonstrating partially and fully patent iridotomy
and features of trabeculectomy bleb. Synopsis: This video
summarizes importance of UBM application in angle closure

glaucoma to understand its pathophysiology by showing

the relationship between the peripheral iris, trabecular
meshwork and ciliary processes. Highlights: UBM provides
two‑dimensional, grayscale images of the angle structures and

allows identification of non‑pupillary block mechanism in angle

closure glaucoma, which can be recorded for qualitative and
quantitative analyses. Video Link: https://youtu.be/prsmGnR8jYc
