A Case Report with Literature-Based Analysis of Hereditary Angioedema Caused by C1-Esterase Inhibitor Deficiency | Chapter 03 | Recent Developments in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 16

 C1-esterase inhibitor deficiency causes hereditary angioedema (HAE), which is an autosomal-dominant illness caused by a mutation in the C1-inhibitor gene. It's a rare condition that's exacerbated by pregnancy and childbirth. HAE is a rare condition that, if left untreated, can result in maternal mortality. The case report details the successful treatment of a 24-year-old patient with Gravida 2, Para 1 hereditary angioedema (C1-Esterase Inhibitor Deficiency). An obstetrician, an immunologist, an anesthesiologist, and a paediatrician worked together to care for this patient. She had a normal pregnancy, but got rashes all over her body shortly after delivery. Fresh frozen plasma and close observation were used to successfully manage the HAE onslaught.
