SIGNIFICANCE: Lipemia retinalis is a very rare ocular manifestation of severe hypertriglyceridemia. It is usually symptomatic and regresses after normalization of triglycerides levels. Early recognition is important to prevent ocular and life-threatening complications. PURPOSE: This study aimed to report a case of marked lipemia retinalis secondary to type V hypertriglyceridemia assessed with swept-source optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT angiography (OCT-A), with follow-up after dietary lipid restriction...

Összefoglaló. Az agy és a szem vascularis katasztrófái számos esetben egymáshoz társuló vagy egymást előre jelző kórképek. Az arteria centralis retinae occlusio az ér rekanalizációjának hiányában a retina szöveteinek irreverzibilis károsodását okozza. Sem a nemzetközi, sem a hazai stroke-irányelvek nem foglalkoznak az ocularis stroke problémakörével, annak ellenére, hogy az arteria centralis retinae occlusio okozta retinalis ischaemia minden tekintetben megfelel az akut ischaemiás stroke definíciójának...

Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is considered as a serious complication of type 1 diabetes mellitus in pediatrics. Severe dyslipidemia in DKA is a rare eventuality. We report on a 10-year-old female presented with severe DKA. The serum was lipemic with severe hypertriglyceridemia and hypercholesterolemia. Laboratory workup: the values of glycemia, sodium and HbA1c were misleading; a method of dilution was used to obtain the correct values. Triglyceride and cholesterol returned gradually to normal levels only with the management of DKA without any complication...

A preterm infant who underwent bilateral laser photocoagulation for the treatment of stage 3 retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is presented because she was incidentally diagnosed with grade 3 lipemia retinalis by dilated fundoscopy at post-laser 2 weeks. Meticulous ophthalmologic examination is imperative in premature newborns for not only ROP screening but also detecting any concomitant ocular abnormalities, which can be sight-threatening or even life-threatening.

SUMMARY: A 37-year-old female of South Asian origin was referred to our diabetes clinic for evaluation of an unusual finding during her retinal screening. Her retinal blood vessels appeared white in contrast to the normal pink-red colour. She had type I hyperlipidaemia, confirmed by genotype, and was recently diagnosed with diabetes, secondary to pancreatic insufficiency, for which she had suboptimal control and multiple hospitalisations with recurrent pancreatitis. On examination, she had multiple naevi on her skin; the rest of the examination was unremarkable...

Objective: Severe hypertriglyceridemia (SHTG; plasma triglycerides >1000 mg/dL) is a rare but serious complication in children who develop diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) from uncontrolled or new-onset type 1 diabetes. Methods: We present the case of a severely malnourished 16-year-old with a 10-month history of presumed type 2 diabetes managed with lifestyle modifications and metformin, who presented with SHTG, acute pancreatitis, and DKA. On examination, there was no evidence of lipemia retinalis, cutaneous xanthomas, or xanthelasma...

Összefoglaló. Bevezetés: Az adalimumab egy TNFα-gátló monoklonális antitest; számos indikációja közül a nem fertőzéses eredetű intermedier, posterior és panuveitisek kezelésében is általánosan alkalmazható készítmény. Célkitűzés: A felnőttkori nem fertőzéses eredetű uveitis miatt adalimumabkezelést kapó betegekkel szerzett tapasztalataink összefoglalása. Betegek és módszerek: Retrospektív esetsorozatban vizsgáljuk a budapesti Uveitis Centrumban (a Semmelweis Egyetem Szemészeti Klinikájának Uveitis Ambulanciáján) 2018 és 2020 között adalimumabbal kezelt felnőtt, nem fertőzéses eredetű uveitises eseteinket...

PURPOSE: To report a case of bilateral proliferative diabetic retinopathy and lipemia retinalis in a patient with acquired lipodystrophy. METHODS: A retrospective case report. RESULTS: A 23-year-old woman with a diagnosis of acquired lipodystrophy was referred for ophthalmic evaluation. She had been diagnosed with acute lymphocytic leukemia at the age of 3 years and undergone hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Best-corrected visual acuity was 20/20 in both eyes; however, funduscopy revealed bilateral diabetic retinopathy and lipemia retinalis, neither of which was apparent 2 years earlier...

Primary chylomicronemia (PCM) is a rare and intractable disease characterized by marked accumulation of chylomicrons in plasma. The levels of plasma triglycerides (TGs) typically range from 1,000 - 15,000 mg/dL or higher.PCM is caused by defects in the lipoprotein lipase (LPL) pathway due to genetic mutations, autoantibodies, or unidentified causes. The monogenic type is typically inherited as an autosomal recessive trait with loss-of-function mutations in LPL pathway genes (LPL, LMF1, GPIHBP1, APOC2, and APOA5)...

CASE DESCRIPTION: Case of lipemia retinalis secondary to hyperchylomicronemia in a 40-year-old man with a history of total body irradiation and immunosuppressive treatment that was attended in this hospital due to decreased visual acuity and abdominal pain. CLINICAL FINDINGS: Hyperchylomicronemia caused the development of acute pancreatitis and lipemia retinalis. The latter is an infrequent ocular manifestation that reflects excessive triglyceride blood levels in the organism (>2,000 mg/dL)...

PURPOSE: To describe the magnitude and spectrum of abnormal ocular findings other than retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) detected during an ROP telescreening programme. METHODS: Retrospective review of the records of all premature babies screened for ROP from August 2015 to December 2019. RESULTS: A total 9105 babies were screened during the study period with total 17,075 imaging sessions. Non-ROP ocular abnormalities were seen in 566 eyes of 383 babies (4...

Severe Hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) is associated with complications such as acute pancreatitis (AP) with high morbidity and mortality rates. We report a 42 years-old man with refractory HTG diagnosed at 19 years of age, and multiple episodes of AP, admitted with the suspicion of a new AP episode. Serum triglycerides were over 2000 mg/dl. His body mass index was 18 kg/m2, there was no evidence of xanthomas or xanthelasmas, but lipemia retinalis was found. Management included heparin and insulin, added to his usual treatment with fibrates, statins, omega-3 fatty acids, and orlistat...

A 45-year-old female with a history of hypertension presented with complaints of intermittent vision loss and blurred vision. Clinical examination revealed diffuse retinal whitening in the peripapillary area with multiple visible emboli in the first- and second-order arteries. The patient's retinal findings were keeping within features of lipemia retinalis, and serum lipids were ordered which returned a triglyceride level of 1504 mg/dL. The patient was referred to primary care for vascular risk factor management and potential genetic testing...
