Hyperlipidemia resulting in abnormal density and signal intensity of blood in a neonate with lipoprotein lipase deficiency.
We present the imaging findings in an 8-week-old infant with LPL deficiency. Due to markedly increased lipoproteins in the serum, abnormal hypodensity and abnormal T1-weighted hyperintensity were identified in the dural venous sinuses and medullary veins.
