Why the study?
Drug-induced angioedema is rare in the perioperative setting, with even fewer cases described hours following a minor procedure.

No
ACE inhibitors can precipitate delayed, life-threatening angioedema in the perioperative setting, requiring prompt airway management and clinician awareness.
Clinicians should monitor ACEI patients for delayed angioedema after minor procedures; this case leaves incidence and risk factors open.
Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors are known to precipitate angioedema. Drug-induced angioedema is rare in the perioperative setting. Even fewer cases described hours following a minor procedure. In this case report, we present a 45-year-old female who developed drug-induced angioedema hours following an obstetric procedure.
