Abstract

Angioedema is characterized by swelling just below the surface of the skin and/or mucosa, caused by a sudden increase in endothelial permeability with extravasation of intravascular fluid into the interstitial tissues. A variety of mechanisms can trigger the process, causing angioedema to be classified into two main categories: hereditary and acquired angioedema. Unlike other forms of edema, angioedema is nonpitting, often asymmetric and has a tendency not to involve gravitationally dependent areas.
