Hereditary angioedema with 14-year remission.
The concept that hereditary angioedema assumes a benign form in some families is supported by documented disease in a 37-year-old man who had had recurrent attacks for one year but has been without symptoms for 14 years. Although numerous members of the patient's family have been affected during the past five generations, known causes of death have not been directly related to angioedema.
