1 A 15-month-old infant with periorbital/facial edema is seen in this photo, which was taken soon after he woke up in the morning. Facial edema is usually seen on arising in the morning and edema is gravity-dependent; thus, early morning periorbital/facial edema may not be apparent by the time the child is seen later in the day. Edema also involves dependent areas such as the feet and legs, scrotum, and sacrum. (Photo contributor: Binita R. Shah, MD.) Source: Chapter 16.
