Key result
Computed tomography imaging aids in the diagnosis and subsequent treatment of visceral angioedema in patients taking angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors.
MDCT imaging can assist in diagnosing ACE inhibitor-induced visceral angioedema, guiding appropriate clinical management.
CT may aid diagnosis of ACE inhibitor visceral angioedema; leaves open prospective validation before routine use.
OBJECTIVE: Our objectives are to describe the CT features of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor-induced visceral angioedema and to review other conditions that may have similar findings. CONCLUSION: CT findings in a patient taking an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor help in the diagnosis and subsequent treatment of ACE inhibitor-induced visceral angioedema.
