Figure 1. (A) Patient’s photograph dated from approximately 3 years earlier. The predominantly unilateral edema collected in the lower portion of the periorbital region is evident. (B) Photograph taken 1 year later, in which the edema is now clearly bilateral, even if asymmetric, and appears to have worsened. The skin overlying the region seemed hardened, with a slight reddish discoloration.
