Vasodilatory edema, a common adverse effect of antihypertensive therapy with vasodilators, is related to several mechanisms, including arteriolar dilatation (causing an increase in intracapillary pressure), stimulation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, and fluid volume retention.
We report a 48-year-old female patient who presented to the emergency room with right eyelid edema, with 3 days of evolution. She had suffered minor trauma to this eye one week before. She reported episodes of right eyelid swelling of spontaneous resolution since the occurrence of a traumatic brain
Brain edema causes herniation and death in many patients with large cerebral infarctions. Evidence suggests that even small infarcts may result in edema that contributes to further ischemia. Thus, ischemic cerebral edema appears to contribute heavily to morbidity and mortality in stroke.
Cryosurgery is the application of freezing temperatures to achieve the destruction of tissue. Cutaneous cryosurgery has become a commonly performed outpatient procedure because of the combination of its safety, effectiveness, low cost, ease of use, lack of need for injectable anesthetic, and good

A prominent or edematous papilla of Vater may prodce a rounded filling defect in the duodenum. During T tube or operative cholangiography, this may simulate a calculus impacted in the distal or intramural portion of the common bile duct. This communication reports such an occurrence. Recognition of
