Types of Edema. Edema is the accumulation of abnormal levels of fluid in the circulatory system and the tissues between the bodyâs cells (interstitial tissue). This condition often causes tissue underneath the skin to swell, and is common when lymphatic blockage occurs.his excess fluid gets trapped in the bodyâs tissue in a greater capacity than the lymphatic system can eliminate. Generally, edema is physically unnoticeable until the interstitial fluid volume is approximately 30% above normal (normal fluid volume is 10%).
Cerebral edema. Cerebral Edema, put simply, is the presence of a large amount of water in the spaces of the brain. It may be brought about by a handful of neural injuries and other conditions that affect the brain and its properties. If not treated immediately, Cerebral Edema may cause death.
