Abstract:
Angioedema (AE) classically manifests as an acute transient swelling of extra-visceral spaces, subcutaneous and submucosal tissues. Sometimes it may be a life-threatening condition. The causes are numerous, and the common denominator is an increased vascular permeability allowing diffusion or extravasation of fluid from the vascular bed to the interstitial space. The severity of AE is related to the cause, body location, and extension. We hereby report two very unusual cases characterized by a massive attack of AE from the left cervical area to the pelvis through the length of the mediastinum and axial posterior retroperitoneum. The diagnosis was established by CT. The first case was found related to drug intake, and the second appeared idiopathic.
