Coming soonAngioedema is a clinical condition characterized by abrupt, circumscribed, non-pitting swelling of the deep dermis, subcutaneous tissues, or submucosal layers.
It frequently affects areas with loose connective tissue, including the face, lips, tongue, extremities, genitalia, and the gastrointestinal or upper respiratory tracts, posing a critical risk of asphyxiation when laryngeal tissues are involved.
Pathophysiologically, it results from transient vascular hyperpermeability driven primarily by the release of vasoactive mediators, most commonly histamine in mast-cell-mediated allergic reactions or bradykinin in hereditary, acquired, or drug-induced forms.
