  ABSTRACT: Hypertriglyceridemia is relatively common in adults but rare in children. It is potentially serious due to its complications, the main ones being acute pancreatitis and stroke. We report the case of hypertriglyceridemia in a seventeen-day-old newborn and a 14-month-old infant respectively. The milky appearance of the blood had led to suspicion of lipids disorder, and the lipid profile confirmed hypertriglyceridemia. The course was fatal in the newborn. In the infant case, after starting medical treatment and nutritional treatment, she suffered a stroke due to a fat embolus. The outcome was favorable after motor rehabilitation sessions.
