Ans:B.) Koeppe’s nodules
Iris Nodules
May be found as:
- Koeppe nodules (inflammatory cell precipitates which lie at the pupillary margin and could be found in non-granulomaous as well as granulomatous uveitis).
- Koeppe nodules are small nodules located on the pupillary border.
- Bussaca nodules (lie on the iris surface) which are pathognomonic for granulomatous uveitis.
- Busacca nodules are usually larger nodules located on the mid periphery of the iris.
- When the inflammation is treated, the nodules will resolve.
