AI Article Synopsis
- Angina bullosa haemorrhagica (ABH) is a condition marked by spontaneous bleeding blisters in the mouth, which heal within a week without scarring.
- In a study of six cases, patients ranged from 20 to 65 years old, with most cases involving solitary lesions on the oral mucosa, primarily affecting females.
- The condition is often misdiagnosed due to unfamiliarity among healthcare providers, and treatment mainly involves reassurance, as the lesions typically result from irritating foods and resolve naturally.
Article Abstract
Angina bullosa haemorrhagica (ABH) is characterized by the recurrent appearance of haemorrhagic bullae on the oropharyngeal mucosa which rupture spontaneously leading to complete recovery within a weeks' time without any scarring. We report the clinical features of six cases of ABH. A cross-sectional observational study was performed. A total of six cases of ABH fulfilling the Ordioni et. al. criteria for diagnosis of ABH were enrolled.The age of our patients were 65, 25, 20, 35, 55 and 48 years. Four of them were females (67%), whereas two were males (33%).Retromolar trigone involvement was most common.The chief complaint in all was reddish bulla(e) in the oral cavity of 1 day duration. Five of the patients had solitary lesions, while one had multiple lesions. The lesions measured from 1 to 3 cm in diameter. Complete blood counts and clotting factors were normal in all patients. All cases healed within a week's time. ABH is not a very common disorder encountered by ENT surgeons, dermatologists, general practitioners, and the lack of knowledge of its normal presentation can lead to unnecessary anxiety and incorrect treatment. The typical hemorrhagic bulla(e) usually erupt after eating hard, hot, or spicy food. These lesions heal spontaneously and treatment is not necessary except for reassurance and mild anxiololytics.
