Angioèdèm: Anvan li te ye kòm Quincke èdèm, akimilasyon dlo sa a nan tisi anlè se yon sove, souvan masiv anfle, espesyalman sou figi a (bouch ak po je yo), mwens souvan sou lang, pati yo ak lòt ògàn yo. Yo anjeneral pa fè deman, men yo ka douloure, tou depann de gravite anfle a. Si larynx la afekte, gen menm danje nan asosiyasyon. Nòmalman, angioedema retounen nan youn a twa jou. Li fèt swa kòm yon pati nan yon reyaksyon alèjik (medyatè pa èstamen an mesaje) oswa - anpil mwens souvan - akòz fonksyon an ensifizan nan yon molekil patikilye (C1 inhibitor), ki ralanti sistèm iminitè a nan reyaksyon san kontwòl. Fòm sa a anjeneral se natirèl (ereditè angioedema).

Angioedema: Formerly known as Quincke edema, this accumulation of water in the subcutaneous tissue is a fugitive, often massive swelling, especially on the face (lips and eyelids), less commonly on the tongue, genitals and other organs. They usually do not itch, but they can be painful, depending on the severity of the swelling. If the larynx is affected, there is even danger of suffocation. Normally, angioedema returns within one to three days. It occurs either as part of an allergic reaction (mediated by the messenger histamine) or - much less often - due to the insufficient function of a particular molecule (C1 inhibitor), which slows down the immune system in uncontrolled reactions. This form is usually innate (hereditary angioedema).
