Nodules in Ophthalmology

NODULES in Ophthalmology

Bussaca’s nodule –	Inflammatory nodules in granulomatous uveitis over anterior surface of iris (REMEMBER _ BuSSacca nodules occur in iris Stroma – SS)
Koeppe’s nodule –	Inflammatory nodules in granulomatous uveitis over inner margin of iris. (REMEMBER – KoePPE nodules occur in Pupillary margin)
Dalen Fuch’s nodules–	Granulomas between Bruch’s membrane and RPE (phagocytosed pigment) in sympathetic ophthalmitis
Horner Tranta’s Spots (nodule)	Discrete whitish raised dots in spring catarrh at limbus
Lisch nodule–	Pigmented hamartomatous of dendritic melanocytes over the iris in neurofibromatosis.
Berlin Nodules	Occur in Sarcoidosis and are seen in the angle of anterior chamber during gonioscopy.
