title: [Unilateral angioedema of the tongue and the floor of the mouth as a side-effect of ACE-inhibitors].
abstract: An 80-year-old woman who was medically compromised had recurrent diffuse unilateral swelling of the tongue and the floor of the mouth. The clinical working diagnosis of angioedema as a result of the use of ACE-inhibitors (lisinopril) was made. In consultation with the cardiologist in charge of her case and the general practitioner, the ACE-inhibitor was discontinued. The patient's complaints subsequently ceased.
