ReferencesAngioedema is non-pitting edema that involves subcutaneous and/or submucosal layers of tissue that affects the face, lips, neck, and extremities, oral cavity, larynx, and/or gut. It becomes life-threatening when it involves the larynx.
The recent exposure to an allergen (e.g., peanuts) may be the cause of the urticaria, but in most cases the cause is unknown.
The skin of the face, especially around the mouth, and the mucosa of the mouth and/or throat, as well as the tongue, can swell within minutes to hours. The swelling may be itchy or painful. Urticaria may develop simultaneously.
In severe cases, airway stridor occurs, with gasping or wheezy inspiratory sounds and decreasing oxygen levels. Tracheal intubation is required in these situations to prevent respiratory arrest and death.
