Hereditary angioedema type II; report of a case

Abstract Hereditary Angioedema is a hereditary disease caused by deficiency or loss of C1 inhibitor (C1-INH), with an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern and which may be potentially life threatening. The prevalence of the disease is considerably low. In this case report, a 31 years old woman who has applied to the hospital with an angioedema attack after odontotherapy and who had angioedema attacks for many years with abdominal symptoms in the forefront and as a consequence to whom laparotomy was applied 3 times, is discussed together with literature. Hereditary Angioedema must certainly be considered for patients who apply to hospital with localized angioedema and especially with symptoms relating to upper airway tract and treatment strategy must be determined urgently, because delay in treatment increases morbidity and affects life quality.
