Does a low-fat diet with high medium-chain triglycerides formula improve severe lipemia retinalis and hypertriglyceridemia in an infant with a lipoprotein lipase mutation?
Strict adherence to a low-fat diet without breast milk is effective in treating infants with severe lipemia retinalis and extreme hypertriglyceridemia due to lipoprotein lipase mutation.
Yin et al. (2016) conducted a case report in Severe lipemia retinalis with extreme severe hypertriglyceridemia (n=1). High medium-chain triglycerides formula and discontinuation of breast milk was evaluated on Resolution of lipemia retinalis and vulval lesions and stable plasma lipid level. Strict adherence to a high medium-chain triglycerides formula and discontinuation of breast milk resolved severe lipemia retinalis and vulval lesions in an infant.
