Hereditary angioedema: review of literature and dental treatment.
Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is an autosomal dominant syndrome in which the pathogenesis differs from the more common nonhereditary (allergic) angioedema. Respiratory embarrassment precipitated by trauma (including dental manipulation) accounts for the high morbidity of the patients. The purpose of this paper is to establish a successful procedure for dental-medical treatment of patients with HAE.
