Description

Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors may rarely cause angioneurotic edema of the facial and oral region.<br>Some cases were associated with respiratory distress, and angioneurotic edema of the larynx is potentially life-threatening.<br>We report a case of angioedema in the tongue and oral floor that was probably caused by treatment with an ACE inhibitor. The patient was an 88-year-old woman. Her chief complaint was swelling of the tongue with respiratory distress.<br>There has been no recurrence of symptoms 1 year and 4 months after withdrawal of the ACE inhibitor.
