Lymphatic Obstruction (Lymphedema) Lymphatic obstruction, also known as lymphedema, is a condition that results when the lymph nodes become large as a result of swelling or fluid retention. A variety of causes including cancer, viruses and bacterial infections can cause the lymph nodes to swell.

Thread: Edema: (Pitting and Non-Pitting Edema) Causes, Diagnosis & Symptoms In these diseases, edema occurs primarily because of the body's retention of too much salt (sodium chloride). The excess salt causes the body to retain water, which then leaks into the interstitial tissue spaces, where it appears as edema. Medications also can cause pitting edema. The most common local conditions that cause edema are varicose veins and thrombophlebitis (inflammation of the veins) of the deep veins of the legs.

Papilledema Papilledema results from orthograde axoplasmic flow stasis at the optic nerve head leading to edema of the nerve from the increased intracranial pressure pressing on the nerve behind the eye. Continued pressure can result in loss of axons and eventual optic atrophy.

Angioedema Not Caused by Allergic Reaction Most cases of angioedema result from an allergic-type reaction that results in vascular leakage, which causes submucosal swelling. The lips, tongue, larynx and face are often involved. Oftentimes, foods, medications, insect bites, pollen and similar allergens can cause such a reaction.Over the past two decades, it has become widely known that ACE inhibitors, a class of the most commonly prescribed antihypertensive medications, can also cause angioedema in patients who are predisposed.iscussion. This was a classic case of angioedema. Angioedema is a swelling of the deeper layers of the skin, subcutaneous tissues and the tissues immediately underlying mucous membranes, or submucosal tissue.

What Causes Swollen Lips? Angioedema is caused by an allergic reaction to something you've eaten, an insect bite, pollen allergies, or a medication you've taken. 1  It causes a swelling of the lips, face, and tongue, which usually occurs rapidly. It can also sometimes be accompanied by redness or bumps (hives). Due to the swelling, you may have difficulty talking. Angioedema can also cause swelling of the airway and difficulty breathing, which may be life-threatening. You can tell that someone is in a life-threatening situation if they have: difficulty breathing. voice becomes hoarse or they are unable talk. begin to wheeze or cough. lips or face become bluish in color.

Lymphatic Obstruction (Lymphedema) Types and Causes. Lymphedema can affect any lymph node in the lymphatic system. The types of lymphedema are related to the specific causes, which can include cancer, cancer treatments, infections, or injury. Blood clots and deep vein thrombosis can also cause the lymph nodes to become enlarged.

Lower-Extremity Lymphedema and Elevated Body-Mass Index Lymphedema is a disease caused by the anomalous development of the lymphatic system or injury to the lymphatic vasculature; millions of people are affected worldwide.1 In this condition, fluid accumulates in the interstitial space, causing enlargement of the affected area.

edema Some medical conditions may also cause edema, including: 1  Heart failure. When the heart is unable to maintain adequate blood flow throughout the circulatory system, the excess fluid pressure within the blood vessels can cause shifts into the interstitial spaces. 2  Kidney disease.

Overview Causes of secondary lymphedema. Any condition or procedure that damages your lymph nodes or lymph vessels can cause lymphedema. Causes include: 1  Surgery. 2  Removal of or injury to lymph nodes and lymph vessels may result in lymphedema. 3  For example, lymph nodes may be removed to check for spread of breast cancer, and lymph nodes may be injured in surgery that involves blood vessels in your limbs. 4  Radiation treatment for cancer.

Idiopathic Oedema One possible cause is the retention of salt (sodium). When the body retains salt it also holds on to fluid and thereby may cause some oedema. A possible cause of fluid retention often overlooked by people and difficult to diagnose is due to binge eating alternating with strict dieting.

Thread: Edema: (Pitting and Non-Pitting Edema) Causes, Diagnosis & Symptoms Edema of unknown cause (idiopathic edema) occurs primarily in women. Varicose veins or thrombophlebitis (a blood clot in an inflamed vein) of the deep veins in the legs causes edema that is localized to the legs.

- Pulmonary edema occurs when fluid accumulates in the alveoli in the lungs. This type of edema is usually caused by a blockage in the veins, with fluid filling the lungs as blood pressure rises. When the pleural cavity also fills with fluid, it's a form of pulmonary edema called pleural effusion.

- Introduction. Oedema is the medical term for fluid retention in the body. The build-up of fluid causes affected tissue to become swollen. The swelling can occur in one particular part of the body – for example, as the result of an injury – or it can be more general.mmobility and standing for long periods are the two most common causes of oedema in the legs. Other possible causes include: 1  a blood clot. 2  severe varicose veins. 3  a leg injury or leg surgery.

- One cause is vitreous traction and the other is inflammation. With vitreous traction, there is an abnormal connection between the vitreous (the gel that fills the eye) and the macula. In this situation the vitreous gel tugs on the macula causing the cystoid macular edema. The other cause of CME, inflammation, is by far more common. The inflammation can be caused by an eye injury, eye surgery, or a number of other eye diseases. It most commonly occurs after cataract surgery.

What is pulmonary edema? The most common cause of pulmonary edema is congestive heart failure, where the heart cannot keep up with the demands of the body. Pulmonary edema can be acute (sudden onset) or chronic (occurring more slowly over time). If it is acute, it is classed as a medical emergency needing immediate attention.

Pulmonary Edema Causes. Pulmonary edema is often caused by congestive heart failure. When the heart is not able to pump efficiently, blood can back up into the veins that take blood through the lungs. As the pressure in these blood vessels increases, fluid is pushed into the air spaces (alveoli) in the lungs.

Lymphedema The most common cause of lymphedema in developing countries is infection due to the parasite Wuchereria bancrofti (filariasis), which can cause “elephantitis.” Treatment includes diethylcarbamazine, nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and antihistamines.

- Pulmonary edema is due to the movement of excess fluid into the alveoli as a result of an alteration in one or more of Starling's forces. In cardiogenic pulmonary edema, a high pulmonary capillary pressure (as estimated clinically from the pulmonary artery wedge pressure) is responsible for the abnormal fluid movement . (See Pathophysiology of cardiogenic pulmonary edema and Approach to acute decompensated heart failure in adults.)
