Fundus changes in primary hyperlipaemia.
The retinal vascular change described for two relatively young men and initially diagnosed as arteritis retinalis but subsequently regarded as an analogue of retinal lipaemia stresses the importance of biochemical exploration for a possible disturbance in the fat metabolism in unclear cases of retinal vasculopathy. If a disturbance in the fat metabolism is found, rational therapy will lead to disappearance of the vascular mural changes.
