RESUMO
Ruptured diverticula and ventricular aneurysms are rare in the fetus, with a limited number of case reports published previously. Additional fetal complications secondary to these ventricular wall abnormalities can be seen. Interventional measures can be considered and attempted either in utero or postnatally to improve the chance of survival. We present a case of a ruptured diverticulum in a fetus and the clinical course.

Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) deficiency is an autosomal recessive condition due to absent or decreased activity of LPL enzyme. The LPL deficiency is a rare condition that is mainly diagnosed in children, but there is no standard screening method at this time. In our report, we describe a 6-day-old male infant who was found to have hypertriglyceridemia after lipemia retinalis was diagnosed from a fundoscopic examination for nonaccidental trauma work-up. After dietary modification was done, his triglyceride levels decreased significantly, and there were no complications. When diagnosed later in life, recurrent pancreatitis can be a significant complication.
