A member asked:
Son is now 15 years old. amblyopia/missing ganglion axons in center one eye. noticed seizure and was told he had lisch nodules. told nothing to do.

Followup needed: A Lisch nodule is a pigmented hamartomatous nodular aggregate of dendritic melanocytes affecting the iris. The fact that he has had a seizure is suggestive of associated condition called neurofibromatosis one. He needs to be seen by a neuroophthalmologist as well as evaluated for other lesions which can also affect different areas of the brain and skin.

Regular visits: Sorry to learn about your son's condition. Does he have Neurofibromatosis Type 1? That would account for his seizures and his eye finding. He needs to be seen by an ophthalmologist and a neurologist on a regular basis to detect any more problems from his underlying condition. They probably meant nothing to do to cure him, but you can treat him for the symptoms that come up, and keep loving him.
