BRUSHFIELD SPOTS


Brushfield spots picture


Speckled iris. Little white spots that slightly elevated on the surface of the iris
arranged in a ring concentric with the pupil. These spots occur in normal children but are
far more frequent in Down's syndrome . They were described in 1924 by Thomas Brushfield
and are due to aggregation of a normal iris element.
