      review of the literature.
PG  - 71-3
AB  - Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) such as enalapril, captopril, and 
      lisinopril are well established as effective treatments of arterial hypertension 
      and congestive heart failure. They are widely used and generally well tolerated. 
      Angioedema is a rare but serious adverse effect of ACEI therapy. Most frequently, 
      edema involves the face, oral cavity, and the glossopharyngeal or glottic area. 
      Visceral edema induced by ACEI has also occurred. Life threatening and even fatal 
      cases associated with ACEI have been reported. Although angioedema typically 
      occurs within the first weeks of ACEI therapy, some cases with latencies of 
      several months to years have been reported. This paper reports a case of late 
      onset and recurrent angioedema in a patient treated with lisinopril for 
      hypertension. A discussion of ACEI angioedema follows.
