Abstract
Angioneurotic edema (ANE) is a frequently encountered presentation in the emergency department. This condition manifests itself as sudden, unpredictable episodes of edema in cutaneous and mucosal tissues, commonly affecting the eyes, oral cavity, lips, and larynx. It is crucial to acknowledge that ANE is a component of a range of allergic manifestations, often associated with urticaria and occasionally of non-allergic origin. In some cases, this condition can lead to laryngeal edema, causing airway obstruction and potentially fatal consequences if not diagnosed in a timely manner. After 2007, the term ANE was replaced by the term angioedema (AE) in the literature for its conciseness and wider recognition. The purpose of this comprehensive article is to present a detailed analysis of a clinical case involving a 75-year-old patient diagnosed with AE, accompanied by a thorough examination of relevant literature that has significantly contributed to our understanding of this complex medical condition.
