Ocular Conditions Associated by Idiopathic Hyperlipemia

Effects of experimental hyperlipoproteinaemia on the retina and optic nerve in rhesus monkeys.

“…4), is suggestive histo-pathological evidence that an occlusive ischaemic event may have caused the optic nerve atrophy, as previously suggested. 8 Our findings imply that a highly abnormal lipid metabolism may cause systemic or ocular embolic effects. Since the studies reported here involved very high levels of serum lipids, comparisons with analogous clinical conditions should be made only with caution.…”

“…of the cerebral vasculature, carotid arteries, thoracic or abdominal aorta and its branches, or coronary arteries, nor were the retinal vessels affected. Thus the normal appearance of the retinal vessels on ophthalmoscopic examination was consistent with the absence of obvious systemic atherosclerosis.Lipaemia retinalis of varying severity observed throughout the study was related mainly to the plasma triglycerides level,8 since triglycerides are chiefly transported in the serum in the form of particles with diameter greater than 1/4 the wave length of visible light (or 0 1 ,um). Such large particles, .…”

Idiopathic Lipemia Retinalis

“…Dunphy 5 reported the case of a 47-year-old man with idiopathic hyperlipemia showing lipemia retinalis and secondary xanthomatosis. He stated that the lipemia retinalis paralleled the neutral fat level of the serum.…”
