Abstract

Maxillofacial angioedema is a rare condition encountered by the oral and maxillofacial surgeon. Its significance lies in its potential to partially or totally obstruct the upper airway secondary to acute sudden swelling. In some individuals, angioedema is hereditary; in others, it occurs spontaneously, without warning, as an allergic reaction. The case presented here documents perioral angioedema secondary to dental impressions and reviews its management.
