Lipemia retinalis following FLAG-Ida protocol in an 11-year-old patient with acute myeloid leukemia
Lipemia retinalis, characterized by creamy-white retinal vessels resulting from hypertriglyceridemia, can develop as a secondary condition to chemotherapy. Early detection and treatment of hyperlipidemia are crucial to prevent severe ocular and systemic complications. This case highlights the importance of monitoring lipid levels and conducting thorough ophthalmologic examinations in patients undergoing chemotherapy.
