Abstract

Purpose: To present a patient with the rare condition of lipaemia retinalis and discuss the clinical features of this condition and its association with elevated triglyceride levels. Methods: Clinical evaluation of the patient, including fundus photographs before and after the initiation of a low fat diet, was undertaken. Results: Lowering of serum triglyceride and cholesterol levels was associated with complete resolution of the clinical picture of lipaemia retinalis. Conclusions: Lipaemia retinalis is a rare condition that is related to markedly elevated triglyceride levels. Lowering triglycerides levels leads to resolution of the clinical picture of this disease.
