Popis: Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of localized edema caused by a deficiency or dysfunction of C1 inhibitor (C1-INH). This case report presents the clinical features, diagnostic evaluation, and management of a 23-year-old man with HAE. We discuss the challenges of diagnosing and treating this condition, emphasizing the importance of early recognition and appropriate therapeutic interventions.
