What is unilateral Jaundice?

It is seen :
1) In patients with hemiplegia.
2) In the presence of unilateral oedema.
Paralysed extremely and oedematous areas tend to remain less coloured as good circulation is necessary to stain the tissues.

if i try 2 do my best i would say patient with obstruction of the left hepatic duct and partial obstruction of the right hepatic duct by tumour. Adequate drainage of bile from the right hepatic duct through a T-tube was relatively ineffective in relieving the jaundice. On the other hand, resection of the obstructed left lobe resulted in the disappearance of icterus also hepatic lobectomy my releive The basic mechanism involved in the production of jaundice under these circumstances is incompletely understood

Rayaan, welcome to SomaliDoc.

It is due to asymmetric edema, which probably results from asymmetric vascular tone:
prosthetic eye also causes unilateral jaundice

There are several types of unilateral jaundince, such as scleral icterus in a monocular patient, resolving subconjunctival hemorrhage in one eye, asymmetric edema, chroidal hemorrhage and staining of tissues by prolonged use of certain local eye medications, for instance, mercurials, iodides, and proteinated silver preparations.

There will be points-split b/w dr.awale & dr.abtidon.

Thanks
