Resumo

O angioedema hereditário (AEH) é uma doença genética rara, caracterizada por episódios recorrentes de edema subcutâneo ou submucoso, frequentemente incapacitantes. As crises de AEH são geralmente imprevisíveis, embora possam ser desencadeadas por fatores como procedimentos dentários ou médicos (incluindo cirurgias), traumas ou estresse. Neste relato, descrevemos o caso de uma paciente com AEH tipo 1 que necessitou de exodontia dos terceiros molares. Foi administrado o inibidor de C1 derivado de plasma humano duas horas antes do procedimento, prevenindo o surgimento de crises de angioedema durante e após a extração. Além disso, observou-se a normalização dos níveis de C4 após a aplicação da medicação.

Palavras-chave

Angioedema hereditário; complemento C4; extração dentária; proteína inibidora do complemento C1.

Abstract

Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of subcutaneous or submucosal edema, which are often debilitating. While HAE attacks are generally unpredictable, they can sometimes be triggered by factors such as dental or medical procedures (including surgery), trauma, or stress. In this report, we present the case of a patient with type 1 HAE who required the extraction of her third molars. Human plasma-derived C1 inhibitor administered 2 hours prior to the extraction prevented angioedema attacks during and after the procedure. Additionally, normalization of C4 levels was observed following the administration of the medication.

Keywords

Hereditary angioedema; complement C4; tooth extraction; complement C1 inhibitor protein.
