Abstract
Angioedema is a non-inflammatory oedema of the subcutaneous tissue and/or mucosal membranes. It most commonly coexists with urticaria wheals and is considered to be a deep form of urticaria. Less commonly, it occurs in isolation and can take two basic forms: acquired angioedema and hereditary angioedema. Currently, there are 4 defined types of acquired angioedema and 7 types of hereditary angioedema. Treatment of angioedema depends on its form and etiological factors. Especially the genetic form, i.e. hereditary angioedema, is a considerable challenge for medical specialists, particularly dermatologists and allergists.
