title: [Acute non-allergic angioedema. Rare cause for intensive care unit admission].
abstract: Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor-induced angioedema usually follows an uneventful clinical course; however, if upper airway structures are involved, life-threatening complications may develop. Thus, affected patients should be carefully monitored in an intensive care unit and, if need be, the airway has to be secured early on. This case report discusses diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in a patient with suspected ACE inhibitor-induced angioedema, who had initially been admitted for neoadjuvant radiochemotherapy of rectal cancer.
