angioedema in a patient with c1 esterase inhibitor deficiency
angioedema is characterized by recurrent, circumscribed, solitary or multiple subcutaneous and mucosal swelling, involving the extremities, face, larynx, bowel wall. angioedema is due to hereditary or acquired varieties of c1 esterase inhibitor (c1inh) deficiency. a case of atypical acquired angioedema in a 49-year old man, responding favourably to cinnarizine and alcohol abstinence, is present...
متن کاملPediatric hereditary angioedema due to C1-inhibitor deficiency
Hereditary angioedema (HAE) resulting from the deficiency of the C1 inhibitor (C1-INH) is a rare, life-threatening disorder. It is characterized by attacks of angioedema involving the skin and/or the mucosa of the upper airways, as well as the intestinal mucosa. In approximately 50 per cent of cases, clinical manifestations may appear during childhood. The complex management of HAE in pediatric...
متن کامل[Hereditary angioedema due to C1-esterase inhibitor deficiency].
The paper presents a case of family oedema by shortage of C1-esterase inhibitor, characterized by appearance at an early age (8 months), participation in some attacks of nasal mucous membrane, with nasal obstruction and sinusal manifestations and also the abnormally long period, up to 9 days, of some localized oedemas. The crises were absent during pregnancy. The study of four generations of th...
متن کاملAcquired angioedema associated with hereditary angioedema due to C1 inhibitor deficiency.
Angioedema caused by C1 inhibitor deficiency is a rare disorder that may be either hereditary or acquired, the latter being mainly associated with lymphoproliferative disorders. A 51-year-old woman who had suffered from episodes of acute peripheral edema since she was 12 was diagnosed with hereditary angioedema at the age of 40 and remained stable with stanozolol. Due to a worsening of her symp...
متن کاملLymphoproliferative disease and acquired C1 inhibitor deficiency.
Angioedema due to acquired deficiency of the C1-inhibitor is a bridging condition between autoimmunity and lymphoproliferation. We report 32 patients with acquired C1 inhibitor deficiency: 23 have anti C1-inhibitor autoantibodies; 13 have monoclonal gammopathies of unknown significance and 9 have non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Our series suggest that different forms of B cell disorders coexist and/or ...
