Presentation
Intravascular lymphoma (IVL) is a rare extra nodal subtype (usually of B-cell origin) presenting with infiltration of large neoplastic lymphocytes into lumina of blood vessels, leading to vascular occlusion. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Case presentation We present two female patients, ages 11 years old and 4 years old, who presented to the ED with anasarca and were subsequently diagnosed with JDM. [ped-rheum.biomedcentral.com]
Respiratoric
- Pleural Effusion
Some definitions of anasarca focus on the presence of subcutaneous (body wall and/or extremity) edema 1,2,7, while others focus on pleural effusions and ascites 3. [radiopaedia.org]
Although large pleural effusions are rare in amyloidosis, they are usually exudative and may be due to direct pleural infiltration or amyloid-induced heart, liver, renal or thyroid failure. [jhu.pure.elsevier.com]
Chest and abdomen CT showed massive bilateral pleural effusions, but no lung infiltrate, pericardial effusion or ascites or lymphadenopathy. [bloodjournal.org]
There were pleural thickening and encysted pleural effusion on the left, and atelectasis of adjacent lung portions. The right hemithorax showed small pleural effusion and thickening, in addition to a small nonspecific opacity in the right lung base. [scielo.br]
Chest radiograph at that time revealed bilateral pleural effusions that were both reportedly milky in appearance when drained by thoracenteses. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Face, Head & Neck
- Facial Edema
One week prior to renal biopsy, he had the sudden onset of facial edema and a urine protein/creatinine ratio of 7.8. Image 1. No change by light microscopy. Image 2. Diffuse and complete foot process effacement. [arkanalabs.com]
Periorbital and facial edema may also be associated. Although localized edema is a common feature of JDM, generalized edema has rarely been reported. Here, we report a 3.5-year-old boy with JDM presenting with generalized edema. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The stem definitely mentioned "facial edema making it difficult for the patient to open his eyes in the morning" and "generalized body edema" with trace proteins and >50 RBCs on a UA. [forums.studentdoctor.net]
She initially noticed bilateral lower extremity edema and right-sided facial swelling that subsequently progressed to include both sides of her face, her abdomen, pelvis, and labia. She also reports a 9-lb (3.54-kg) weight gain. [pedsinreview.aappublications.org]
Workup
A recent workup for cardiac, renal, and liver disease, including two-dimensional echocardiogram, liver and renal function tests, and abdominal ultrasound, was unremarkable. He reported a 15-pack year history of smoking and quit 3 years ago. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
She was admitted for further workup and management. [ped-rheum.biomedcentral.com]
X-Ray
- Pericardial Effusion
[…] disorder and left Heart failure Chest X Ray · May show evidence of pulmonary edema (bat wing appearance of hilar region) · May show evidence of Pleural and Pericardial effusion (due to hypo-albuminemia) · May show cardiac hypertrophy in chronic heart [tirthankaronline.blogspot.com]
Lung congestion and pericardial and pleural effusions can cause attenuation in the ECG potentials; additionally, a similar change was recently observed in patients with AN. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
In the outside hospital ED, she had a Chest X-ray which showed bilateral pleural effusions and a pericardial effusion. [ped-rheum.biomedcentral.com]
Chest and abdomen CT showed massive bilateral pleural effusions, but no lung infiltrate, pericardial effusion or ascites or lymphadenopathy. [bloodjournal.org]

Prognosis
Fetal hydrops is a known complication of sacrococcygeal teratoma (SCT) due to arteriovenous shunts within the tumor, which is clinically important and influence patients' prognosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis Multiple anecdotal remedies exist, yet none are proven or reported in scientific literature. Although survival rates are low, some water puppies do survive provided they receive immediate veterinary treatment. [embracepetinsurance.com]

EDEMA/ ANASARCA/ ANGIOEDEMA Etiologies The accumulation of fluid in the intercellular space of subcutaneous tissue or in body cavities is referred to as edema. Anasarca refers to a diffuse generalized edema of multiple organ systems. [thebigl.co]
Etiology The causes of anasarca are various 2,6: nephrotic syndrome end-stage renal disease heart failure cirrhosis malnutrition hypothyroidism (myxedema) inferior or superior vena cava obstruction lymphedema due to lymphatic obstruction by tumor or filariasis [radiopaedia.org]

Pathophysiology
Her severe cerebral edema is of considerable pathophysiologic interest: 1) it developed in the setting of marked anasarca and persistent hypernatremia, and 2) although hepatic function was poor, it was not considered sufficiently deranged to induce cerebral [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
I'm thinking about the pathophysiology of the condition. The patient retains all this fluid because of underlying chemisty imbalances. Often low protein is at the heart of it. [allnurses.com]
Pathophysiology In the presence of hypoalbuminemia as seen in nephrotic syndrome or other disease entities, anasarca occurs as a result of low osmotic pressure in the capillaries. [healthfixit.com]
Prevention
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommendations for prevention of iron deficiency anemia are reviewed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
