Koeppe Busacca Nodule In Granulomatous Uveitis Note One On

Koeppe Busacca Nodule In Granulomatous Uveitis Note One On Characteristic findings of fuchs' uveitis include fine stellate granulomatous keratic precipitates which usually do not accumulate inferiorly by gravitation but are more uniformly distributed over the whole surface of the endothelium, [figure 6] fine koeppe nodules at the pupillary edge of the iris, prominent vessels in the irido corneal angle seen by gonioscopy and absence of posterior. Iris nodules: histopathologic examination of the iris nodule has revealed abundant lymphocytes and plasma cells with areas of chronic granulomatous inflammation. however, not all iris nodules, including those that may be associated with granulomatous disease in some cases (eg, koeppe nodules), are necessarily granulomas.

Koeppe Nodules Diagnosis and treatment of anterior uveitis: optometric. Anterior uveitis that occurs due to presumed tubercular etiology has protean clinical manifestations. it usually presents with granulomatous inflammation with large mutton fat kps (fig. 3) and iris nodules which can be either at the pupillary edge (koeppe’s) (fig. 4) or at the iris stroma (busacca’s). Granulomatous iritis (anterior uveitis) clinical presentation. Granulomatous uveitis is a well defined group of entities determined by a set of clinical signs including small to large mutton fat granulomatous kps, koeppe’s and busacca’s nodules, iris infiltration, and often increased intraocular pressure, which differentiates it clearly from non granulomatous uveitis and orients toward specific clinical entities.
