Abstract:
Hereditary angioedema caused by C1 esterase inhibitor deficiency is a rare autosomal dominant inherited disorder. It is characterized by recurrent episodes of potentially life-threatening swellings without itching localized in the dermis and submucosa. We report a case of 41 years old woman with hereditary angioedema manifested as episodes of localized skin swellings and painful gastrointestinal colics. This report underlines the fact that hereditary angioedema is underdiagnosed in differential diagnoses. If hereditary angioedema is correctly diagnosed, effective treatment highly improving patients' quality of life is available.
