Abstract

Hereditary angioedema (HA) is an autosomal dominantly inherited diseasecharacterized by recurrent angioedema attacks. Angioedema is frequentlyseen in the arms and legs, the neck, the airways, in the genital region and invisceral organs. Edema of the intestinal mucosa can lead to transientobstruction and severe abdominal pain that can mimic acute abdomen. Thiscan result undergoing unnecessary surgery in the patients. We presented a15 years old girl that admitted to the emergency department due to suddenonset colic-type abdominal pain. The patient’s mother had previously undergone surgery three times with the same findings who has been followed upHA. We report this case to emphasize that patients with HA may present toemergency departments with severe abdominal pain related to intestinalinvolvement and with findings of acute abdomen.

Özet

Herediteranjioödem (HA); tekrarlayan anjioödem atakları ile seyreden, otozomal dominant kalıtılan bir hastalıktır. Anjioödem sıklıkla kol ve bacaklarda, yüzde, boyunda, solunum yollarında, genital bölgede ve visseral organlarda görülür. İntestinal mukoza ödemi geçici obstrüksiyona ve akut batın ile karışabilen şiddetli karın ağrılarına neden olabilir. Bu durum hastaların gereksiz cerrahi işlem geçirmesiyle sonuçlanabilmektedir. Biz, acil servise ani gelişen kolik tipte karın ağrısıyla başvuran 15 yaşındaki bir hastayı sunuyoruz. Hastanın annesi de üç kez aynı bulgular nedeniyle gereksiz cerrahi işlem geçirmişti. Biz; HA’lı hastaların, intestinal tutuluma bağlı şiddetli karın ağrısı ve akut karın bulguları ile acil servislere başvurabileceğini vurgulamak amacıyla bu olguyu sunuyoruz.
