- Edema is an accumulation of an excessive amount of fluid in cells, tissues, or serous cavities. Clinical manifestations may consist of a steady weight gain or localized or generalized swelling.
- Oedema (British English) or edema (American English) (Image:Speakerlink.svgiImage:Speakerlink.svgiImage:Speakerlink.svgi/dimə/; from the Greek οἴδημα - oídēma, "swelling"), formerly known as dropsy or hydropsy, is an abnormal accumulation of fluid beneath the skin or in one or more cavities of the body that produces swelling. Generally, the amount of interstitial fluid is determined by the balance of fluid homeostasis, and increased secretion of fluid into the interstitium or impaired removal of this fluid may cause edema.
- An edema or swelling was an abnormal accumulation of fluid beneath the skin. In 2371, Walter Baxter suffered moderate edema to his arm while working out in the gymnasium aboard the USS Voyager. (VOY: "Eye of the Needle") In 2375, Chakotay received an edema beneath the anterior fossa of his cranium during a boxing simulation on the holodeck. (VOY: "The Fight")
- Edema describes a condition where body tissues swell up with fluids other than blood. It is not always a serious condition, but does require medical attention. Edema is common after a traumatic injury and is referred to as "swelling". It is also common with patients who are being given intravenous fluids, and is an indication that their kidneys are not removing fluid as fast as it is being injected. Edema in a patient who is not urinating is often a sign of kidney failure as excess fluid builds up in the body's tissues. In such cases, dialysis is required.

(VOY: "The Fight") In 2377, Iko suffered severe edema in his parietal lobe following a beating from Yediq that blocked vital neurotransmitters in his brain. The Doctor was able to bypass the edema with the help of some of Seven of Nine's nanoprobes. (VOY: "Repentance")

The only immediately life threatening edema is pulmonary edema, where fluids collect in the lungs and compromise their ability to process oxygen.
