Edema (or Oedema) is the abnormal accumulation of fluid in certain tissues within the body. The accumulation of fluid may be under the skin - usually in dependent areas such as the legs (peripheral edema, or ankle edema), or it may accumulate in the lungs (pulmonary edema).
Lower extremity edema is the accumulation of fluid in the lower legs, which may or may not include the feet (pedal edema). It is typically caused by one of three mechanisms. The first is venous edema caused by increased capillary permeability, resulting in a fluid shift from the veins to the interstitial space.
