Karl Lisch (www.whonamedit.com) (1024 words)
Karl Lisch was born in Kirchbichl, a village in North Tyrol, Austria, the son of a General practitioner.
Lisch observed several brown nodules on the surface of the iris.
Interestingly, the suggestion to designate iris nodules in neurofibromatosis as "Lisch nodules" as was probably made by the late Frederick C. Blodi (1917-1996) of Iowa City (written communication from W. Lisch, Hanau, Germany).
Journal of Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus (287 words)
The presence of Lisch nodules was determined by one of the authors (SMC).
Lisch nodules were characterized as being distributed superiorly, inferiorly, or equally in each eye.
This study corroborated previously reported data regarding the prevalence of Lisch nodules in patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 and found that Lisch nodules were predominantly located inferiorly on the iris.
