Arcus senilis

The physical signs of the hyperlipidaemias are not specific for any particular disease and may sometimes be present in normolipidaemic patients, e.g. arcus senilis (Fig. 4). Their presence is. however, highly suggestive of raised lipids. Tendon xanthomas (Fig. 3) are particularly associated with familial hypercholesterolaemia.
