Özet

Angioedema has different causes and different clinical presentations that has two forms: acquired angioedema (types I and II) and hereditary angioedema. However, acquired angioedema type-II is a very rare disorder and there is no significant treatment. So, in this paper, we propose to report the successful use of combination therapy of deflazacort and danazol for two such cases. ©Asia Pacific League of Associations for Rheumatology.
