Anasarca
Medical condition of severe edema / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Anasarca is a severe and generalized form of edema, with subcutaneous tissue swelling throughout the body.[1] Unlike typical edema, which almost everyone will experience at some time and can be relatively benign, anasarca is a pathological process reflecting a severe disease state and can involve the cavities of the body in addition to the tissues.
