Angioedema remains a rare but potentially life-threatening complication of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor use. Most presentations involve edema of the tongue or oral pharynx. However, in recent years, a visceral form involving the gastrointestinal tract also has been described. We present the case of a rare presentation of esophageal and retropharyngeal edema related to ACE inhibitor use. A review of ACE inhibitor-related angioedema is also presented.
血管性水肿仍然是使用血管紧张素转换酶(ACE)抑制剂罕见但可能危及生命的并发症。大多数病例表现为舌头或口咽部水肿。然而,近年来,也有涉及胃肠道的内脏型血管性水肿的报道。我们报告一例与使用ACE抑制剂相关的罕见的食管和咽后水肿病例。同时还对与ACE抑制剂相关的血管性水肿进行了综述。
