title: [Hereditary angioneurotic edema (Quincke's edema). Report of a case and literature review].
abstract: Familiar angioneurotic edema or Quincke's edema is an uncommon variant of urticaria, associated or not, that involves the subcutanean cell tissue and mucous of the face and upper airdigestive tract. It can produce an acute dyspnea and risk of suffocation with intubation or tracheostomy up to a 20% of the cases. The disease is a result of deficit in C esterasa inhibitor which autosomal dominant inheritance. We are reporting one clinical case confirmed as such corresponding to a 81 years-old male whom was operated by tracheotomy after sending from UCI with an emergency coniotomy and failure for orotracheal intubation.
