Granulomatous keratic precipitates are seen in several forms of uveitis. Iris nodules located at the pupillary border are called:

• A Busacca nodules
• B Koeppe nodules ✓
• C Berlin nodules
• D Lisch nodules

Explanation

Koeppe nodules sit at the pupillary margin and predispose to posterior synechiae. Busacca nodules lie on the iris stroma away from the pupil, which is the single fact that distinguishes the two and makes option A wrong. Lisch nodules are hamartomas of neurofibromatosis type 1, not inflammatory lesions, and Berlin nodules relate to traumatic choroidal rupture.
