title: [Acute pancreatitis associated with hereditary angioedema].
abstract: Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is an infrequent, recurrent, and potentially lethal disorder caused by a deficiency of C(1) inhibitor or its activity. Abdominal pain secondary to bowel edema is common in these patients. However, a thorough literature search yielded only six previously reported cases of pancreatitis associated with this entity.
