title: [Fundus changes in hyperlipidemia].
abstract: Of a total of 26 patients with hyperlipidemia, 4 developed flat yellow patches of varying size and shape in the macular area. In a different study a total of 9 subjects with similar flat yellow patches were examined; 6 had increased levels of serum cholesterol and triglycerides. The likelihood that such patients have hyperlipidemia is well over 50%.
