O angioedema hereditário (AEH) é uma doença hereditária rara e as suas manifestações podem ser fatais. Difere do angioedema histaminérgico, pois apresenta diferentes mecanismos subjacentes e, portanto, não responde ao tratamento com anti-histamínicos nem com adrenalina. Os autores apresentam um caso de angioedema hereditário para destacar a importância da referenciação de imediato à especialidade de imunoalergologia para posterior avaliação e diagnóstico correto em caso de suspeita desta entidade.
