Angioedema is a common symptom to different etiologies, the diagnostic orientation is based on the associated signs. The most common are histamine, non IgE-mediated, benign and often associated with urticaria. Angioedema by anaphylaxis and bradykinin angioedemas are rare but potentially severe by upper airway involvement. We report the case of a 14 years old patient with a history of bilateral orbital swelling associated with deep urticaria, and a brother followed for angioedema. Presenting bilateral palpebral and jugal edema, associated with uticarian tasks in the trunk and back. The diagnosis of histaminic angioedema was made and confirmed by the response to corticosteroids and antihistamines, and a biologic workup ruling out differential diagnoses. Treatment was based on the management of the crisis and the implementation of in-depth treatment in the event of recurrent and disabling crises. Measures associated with this drug treatment are also essential, mainly therapeutic education.
