    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Genetics

    Background:

    • Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of swelling.
    • It results from a defect in the complement system, distinct from allergic or idiopathic angioedema.

    Observation:

    • Two new cases of HAE are presented.
    • The autosomal dominant inheritance pattern of HAE is highlighted.

    Findings:

    • HAE pathogenesis and treatment strategies are discussed.
    • The importance of investigating family members for HAE is emphasized.

    Implications:

    • Patients with HAE should carry medical alert cards detailing their diagnosis and emergency treatment information.
    • Distinguishing HAE from other angioedema types is critical for appropriate management.
