Abstract

Introduction: Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare, autosomal dominant disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of well-demarcated angioedema without urticaria, which most often affects the skin or mucosal tissues of the upper respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts. Its management, diagnostic approach, and outcome are discussed to highlight the importance of early diagnosis and aggressive management in preventing severe complications.
