Re: Italian-English translation

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

This is an edema of the face, arms and chest, typical of the

superior vena cava syndrome. I didn't find the English equivalent in

on's Internal Medicine or Dorland's dictionary, but in Spanish

it is called " edema en esclavina " (= mantellina).

Hope this helps!
