  • Title: [Early changes of the vascular system of the eye in hyperlipoproteinemia].
    Author: Zenker HJ, Beer EM.
    Journal: Klin Monbl Augenheilkd; 1989 Jul; 195(1):7-13. PubMed ID: 2477582.
    Abstract:
    A complete ophthalmological examination including fluorescein angiography of the retina, iris, and limbus corneae was performed in 77 patients suffering from hyperlipoproteinemia. An abnormal angiogram of the retina was observed in one-third of the cases and in 50% of the irises, respectively. The common angiographic findings were hyperpermeabilities of vessels. The results of the study identify hyperlipoproteinemia as a vascular risk factor. Its relationship to atherosclerosis is discussed.
