When compared with saline placebo, the administration of MS to patients with acute abdominal pain effectively relieved pain and did not alter the ability of physicians to accurately evaluate and treat patients.

Although the condition is rare, patients with hereditary angioedema often present because of abdominal pain or airway compromise. A 27-year-old woman presented to the emergency department in acute abdominal distress. Identification of the disease in this patient allowed for proper management and avoidance of invasive procedures. Pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and therapy of hereditary angioedema are discussed.
