Angioedema of the tongue and oropharynx is a rare and potentially life threatening adverse reaction related to the use of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors. We report a case of a patient who suffered angioedema of the tongue following sub-lingual Captopril treatment and discuss the prevalence, prevention and treatment of this adverse event. This case report is an addition to a limited number of similar cases and denotes the severity of this phenomenon and the need to be aware of its existence.
