ABSTRACT
Angioedema is a disorder characterized by well-demarcated nonpitting edema involving the tongue, floor of the mouth, larynx, lips, and face. The incidence of angiotensin converting enzyme(ACE) inhibitor related angioedema has been reported to be about 0.1% to 0.2%, and the time of onset is usually during the first week of therapy. These ACE inhibitors include captopril, enalapril, and lisinopril. A 53-year old man with an 8 month history of hypertension previously controlled with atenolol, was presented to the dermatologic department with angioedema of the face and tongue. He had begun therapy with captopril one day before this episode. Even though he was treated with epinephrine and methylprednisolone sodium succinate, the edema gradually progressed and finally dyspnea developed. He was urgently intubated and treated with steroids and pheniramine maleate in the intensive care unit. The edema resolved after 24 hours.
