Lipemia retinalis

Abstract

This is the report of a case studied and treated in the Cook County Hospital, service of Drs. G. F. Suker and C. G. Darling; with references to the literature of the subject. With diabetes there was a history of the patient having been a heavy drinker. His urine became free of sugar. But he relapsed a few weeks after leaving the hospital and returned for treatment, when insulin was used. The appearances of retinal lipemia were recognized during his second residence in the hospital; and this condition was carefully watched and the blood changes investigated. © 1924.
