Resumo

• Angioneurotic edema involving the uvula is sometimes referred to as Quincke's edema . The term angioneurotic edema describes several closely related diseases manifested by recurrent, acute edema of the skin or mucosa. We report a case of uvular edema secondary to food allergy, treated successfully with steroids. A short review of angioneurotic edema and its management is also presented.
