Lymphatic obstruction
Lymphatic obstruction is a medical condition caused by blockage of the lymph system. The lymph system is a series of ducts that normally collect the tiny amounts of fluid and protein that seeps out of blood vessels as they flows by cells. Blockage of this system can lead to fluid collection outside the blood vessels, as manifested by puffiness.
