ABSTRACT
We present a case of cholesterol crystal embolization confirmed histologically by skin biopsy and by the presence of a yellowish microemboli with a refringent look lodged inside a retinal arterioles. The presence of a typical clinic case history, together concurrent risk factor (coronarography, implantation of stent and anticoagulation) supported the diagnostic suspicion. Although it is a serious illness, often with a fatal evolution, the patient has followed a favourable clinic course.
