Brushfield's spots


" Spots, Brushfield's: Speckled iris.
It is Little white spots that are slightly elevated on the surface of the iris and are arranged in a ring concentric with the pupil. These spots occur in normal children but are far more frequent in Down's syndrome (trisomy 21).
Take this name as they were described in 1924 by Thomas Brushfield and are due to aggregation of a normal iris element (connective tissue)."
