Abstract EN
Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor ACEI-induced angioedema of the intestine is a rare occurrence and often unrecognized complication of ACEI.
We present a case of a 45-year-old Hispanic female with angioedema of the small bowel progressing to facial and oral pharyngeal angioedema.
Patients are typically middle-aged females on ACEI therapy who present to the emergency department with abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.
This is a diagnosis of exclusion, and physicians must have a high index of suspicion to make the diagnosis.
Symptoms typically resolve within 24–48 hours after ACE inhibitor withdrawal.
Recognizing these signs and symptoms, and discontinuing the medication, can save a patient from unnecessary, costly, and invasive procedures.
