Like hives, but affects deeper skin layer.

A genetic form of angioedema. (Angioedema is also referred to as Quinke's disease.) Persons with it are born lacking an inhibitor protein (called C1 esterase inhibitor) that normally prevents activation of a cascade of proteins leading to the swelling of angioedema. Patients can develop recurrent attacks of swollen tissues, pain in the abdomen [..]

An allergic reaction involving the skin and deeper (subcutaneous) layers that is characterized by patches of swelling

skin blistering (pop)

(n) recurrent large circumscribed areas of subcutaneous edema; onset is sudden and it disappears within 24 hours; seen mainly in young women, often as an allergic reaction to food or drugs

Angioedema is an allergic skin reaction characterised by swollen and very itchy skin. It is similar to hives.

Swelling similar to urticaria (hives), but the swelling occurs beneath the skin instead of on the surface. Angioedema is characterised by deep swelling that commonly occurs around the eyes and lips and sometimes of the hands and feet.

Swelling involving the deep Dermis, subcutaneous, or submucosal Tissues, representing localized Edema. AngioEdema often occurs in the Face, Lips, tongue, and Larynx.

Inherited disorders that are characterized by subcutaneous and submucosal Edema in the upper RESPIRATORY TRACT and Gastrointestinal Tract.

A form of Hereditary Angioedema that occurs in Women and is precipitated or worsened by high Estrogen levels. It is associated with Mutations in the Gene for Factor XII that result in its increased ac [..]

Forms of Hereditary Angioedema that occur due to Mutations in the Gene for Complement C1 Inhibitor Protein. Type I Hereditary Angioedema is associated with reduced Serum levels of Complement C1 Inhibi [..]

an allergic skin condition that results in sudden, painless swelling lasting a short time; it can affect the face, neck, lips, throat, and extremities

A swelling of the deeper layers of the skin, usually occurring in soft tissues such as the eyes, lips, and tongue.

Swelling beneath the skin rather than on the surface of the skin. This type of dermatological condition happens suddenly and can persist for hours or through out a few days.

A vascular reaction involving the deep dermis or subcutaneous or submucal tissues, representing localised oedema caused by dilatation and increased permeability of the capillaries and characterised by development of giant wheals. American spelling: angiedema (18 Nov 1997)

A genetic form of angioedema. (Angioedema is also referred to as Quinke's disease.) Persons with it are born lacking an inhibitor protein (called C1 esterase inhibitor) that normally prevents activation of a cascade of proteins leading to the swelling of angioedema.
