Article Synopsis
- Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in the C1-INH gene, leading to painful swelling episodes that can affect various parts of the body, including the stomach.
- A case study of a 24-year-old woman illustrates how her severe abdominal pain and other gastrointestinal symptoms were eventually traced back to HAE, despite initial treatments not working.
- The report emphasizes the need for doctors to recognize HAE in patients with acute stomach issues, highlights the importance of proper patient education, and aims to improve diagnosis and management of this serious condition.
