A 19‐year‐old male suffering from Leber's miliary aneurysm was also found to be affected by a dysbetalipoproteinaemia (type IV hyperlipoproteinaemia). The pathophysiologic mechanism of the condition and the possible metabolic cause are discussed. In view of such findings, evaluation of plasma lipids in patients with Leber's miliary aneurysm would seem to be warranted.
