Localized or organ specific edema typically involves one organ or part of the body. The document discusses several types of localized edema including periorbital edema, which can be caused by oversleeping, crying, aging, diet, alcohol, or thyroid and kidney diseases. Macular edema and pulmonary edema are also examined, with pulmonary edema having causes like increased venous pressure, capillary permeability issues, or generalized edema. Hydrops fetalis is defined as abnormal fluid accumulation in two or more fetal compartments like skin or pleura. Lymph node resection edema is also briefly mentioned.
