trabecular meshwork
(redirected from intertrabecular spaces)

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Trabecular meshwork
A sponge-like tissue located near the cornea and iris that functions to drain the aqueous humor from the eye into the blood.
Mentioned in: Glaucoma

meshwork, trabecular
Meshwork of connective tissue located at the angle of the anterior chamber of the eye and containing endothelium-lined spaces (the intertrabecular spaces) through which passes the aqueous humour to Schlemm's canal. It is usually divided into two parts: the corneoscleral meshwork which is in contact with the cornea and the sclera and opens into Schlemm's canal and the uveal meshwork which faces the anterior chamber. See phacolytic glaucoma; plateau iris; anterior limiting ring of Schwalbe; pigment dispersion syndrome.

In addition to these echocardiographic findings, prominent muscular trabeculations and deep intertrabecular spaces communicating with the ventricular cavity were observed in the infero-postero-lateral region and apical portion of the LV chamber (Fig.
It has been suggested in one major textbook that an adequate BM biopsy specimen should contain at least 5 to 6 intertrabecular spaces and, after processing, should be at least 2 to 3 cm in length.
In the last approach, Stollberger et al (10) define LVNC by echocardiographic depiction in one image plane of >3 trabeculations that protrude from the apical parts of the left ventricular wall, have the same echogenicity like the myocardium and move synchronously with ventricular contractions, while intertrabecular spaces are perfused from the ventricular cavity on color Doppler.
