Abstract EN
Two patients developed bilateral, periorbital edema after initiating positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy with a full face mask.
The periorbital edema was more pronounced in the morning and would dissipate throughout the day.
This phenomenon seemed to be correlated with the direct pressure of the full face mask, which may have impaired lymphatic and venous drainage.
To test this hypothesis, each patient was changed to a nasal pillow interface with subsequent improvement in the periorbital edema.
