"edema bipalpebral a tensión"

Spanish to English Medical Medical: Health Care
Hola a todos! Agradeceré su ayuda para resolver cómo traducir "a tensión" en la siguiente frase: "Al examen oftalmológico se constató edema bipalpebral a tensión y órbita congelada". Ni siquiera se qué significa "a tensión" y, por lo tanto, tampoco se cómo traducirlo.

Mi traducción es "Ophthalmic examination revealed bilateral (?) eyelid edema and a frozen orbit" pero, a pesar de haber investigado mucho no se me ocurre cómo resolver "a tensión".

Agradeceré si me pueden orientar! Saludos a todos!

Edema a tensión Muchas gracias por su ayuda. Me hicieron notar que traducir bipalpebral como bilateral era un error ya que significa que afecta a los 2 párpados: superior e inferior y no a los 2 ojos.
Optaré por traducir edema bipalpebral a tensión como tense upper and lower eyelid edema.
Había pensado en nonpitting upper and lower edema pero creo que tense es una mejor opción. Gracias a todos!

I agree with Liz It is tense palpebral edema. Please look at:

Signs and Symptoms of Edema
Edema is characterized by the presence of swelling within or beneath the skin; it may be pitting (holds an indentation after digital pressure) or non-pitting (springs back into place after applying pressure). Edema may be tense due to the position and anatomical structures restricting the swelling, but often it is soft and easily compressible to palpation. It has a different consistency and is distinguishable from the presence of a foreign body (such as dermal filler), which tends to be more defined and firm. If the area is red and warm, infection needs to be considered (see ACE Group Guideline on Acute Skin Infection).

It may just be 'marked', if you follow the first link posted and read down that seems to be a good fit.
