“…The authors also assume the lipemia in this case was caused by administration of steroids. 7 Secondary hypertriglyceridemia is known as a result of the supply of glucocorticoids. Glucocorticoid substitution is associated with hypertriglyceridemia, elevated glucose, and higher non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels and can lead to metabolic syndrome, which was proved in a study with GH-and glucocorticoid-replaced hypopituitary patients.…”

We report the case of a 55-year-old non–insulin-dependent diabetic man with well-controlled hyperlipidemia who presented himself with temporarily blurred vision in both eyes occurring during chemotherapy with adjunctive glucocorticoid treatment for colon carcinoma. Fundus examination revealed lipemia retinalis in his both eyes that resolved after 6 weeks when the chemotherapy was finished, and the patients' triglyceride and glucose levels decreased.

Introduction We report a case of early-onset lipemia retinalis secondary to the FLAG-Ida protocol in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in an 11-year-old girl. Case Report An 11-year-old patient, diagnosed with AML at four months old, experienced a relapse and was treated with the FLAG-Ida protocol (fludarabine, idarubicin, granulocyte-colony stimulating factor, and high-dose cytarabine). Prior to allogeneic stem cell transplantation, she underwent a pre-transplantation eye examination. The patient exhibited normal visual acuity in both eyes. Fundus examination revealed cream-white retinal vessels and a salmon-pink retina, indicative of grade 3 lipemia retinalis. Laboratory tests, normal before treatment initiation, showed significantly elevated serum cholesterol (727.6 mg/dL) and triglyceride (6015.6 mg/dL) levels post-treatment. After receiving fenofibrate, these levels decreased markedly, and the retinal vessels normalized on follow-up fundus examination. Conclusion Lipemia retinalis, characterized by creamy-white retinal vessels resulting from hypertriglyceridemia, can develop as a secondary condition to chemotherapy. Early detection and treatment of hyperlipidemia are crucial to prevent severe ocular and systemic complications. This case highlights the importance of monitoring lipid levels and conducting thorough ophthalmologic examinations in patients undergoing chemotherapy.
