“…The factors found responsible included foods and food additives, drugs and foreign sera, physical agents such as vibration, cold, inhalants, bites and stings. [11][12][13][14] Antibiotics and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs as well as local or general anaesthetics may also trigger this condition. 2,5,6,15 In fact, angio-oedema refers to a group of allergic disorders with varying aetiologies but similar clinical appearances.…”

“…Unter den erworbenen Formen stellt die allergische Reaktion die h~iufigste Ursache dar. Eine wichtige Rolle scheint das stark vasodilatatorisch wirksame Bradykinin zu spielen, dessen Abbau durch ACE-Hemmer inhibiert wird [1,5] Allerdings sind in der Literatur auch F~ille beschrieben worden, bei denen es ohne offensichtliche exogene Ursache zur Bildung eines Angio6dems kam [3,7]. Erstmals besch¡ wurde es 1984 von Jett [8].…”

Although generally showing a low incidence of side effects, inhibitors of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) may in rare cases induce angioedemas, mainly located in the oro-facial area and larynx. The interval between the beginning of the ACE inhibitor therapy and the occurrence of such angioedemas may range from a few hours to a few years. Here, the case of a 53-year-old man with massive swelling of the tongue after dental surgery is presented who had started with ACE inhibitor therapy only 24 h before. At admission to the clinic, obstruction of the upper airway due to the tongue swelling had already progressed so far that fiberoptic intubation was necessary. Additionally, the patient was treated with corticosteroids, antihistaminics and epinephrine, avoiding any further administration of the ACE inhibitor. The swelling resolved within 48-72 h. Dentists and physicians should take into consideration this potential side effect in patients treated with ACE inhibitors.
