Hi all,
I came across this expression in a medical text:
TAC CRANEO: Se observa un sangrado intraparenquimatoso frontal izquierdo con halo de edema periférico.
Any ideas of how it could be translated into English?
Many thanks!

Edema for US English, oedema for UK.
"Brain CT has a sensitivity and specificity of 95% and can identify living cysticerci, which appear as hypodense lesions, as well as degenerating cysts, which appear as isodense or hyperdense lesions with surrounding ring of edema."

Don't use "peripheral oedema", which means oedema of the extremities.

"Peripheral ring of oedema" would be OK, I think, but "surrounding" seems to be more common. In any case, I think "periférico" qualifies "halo", not "edema".
