Aagenaes syndrome: A rare inherited birth abnormality involving underdeveloped lymph vessels which results in swollen legs and liver problems.
Aagenaes syndrome is listed as a "rare disease" by the Office of Rare Diseases (ORD) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
This means that Aagenaes syndrome, or a subtype of Aagenaes syndrome, affects less than 200,000 people in the US population.

 AAGENAES SYNDROME
Aagenaes (1974) therefore suggested the designation 'hereditary cholestasis of Norwegian type,' when cholestasis is combined with lymphedema.
Aagenaes (1998) gave a comprehensive review of the syndrome that bears his name with a description of new cases and follow-up from infancy to adulthood.
Aagenaes (2001) pointed out that the common denominator of the syndrome that bears his name is a 'relatively generalized' lymphatic anomaly.

Lymphedema Cholestasis Syndrome 1 (earlier called Hereditary Cholestasis Lymphedema syndrome) is a disorder where the bile flow from liver to intestine is obstructed, called Cholestasis.
Lymphedema Cholestasis Syndrome 1 was described for the first time in 1968 by the Norwegian physicians Øystein Aagenæs, Carl Birger van der Hagen and Sigvald Refsum.
