Abstract
Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is characterised by episodic swelling of the extremities, face, larynx and recurrent abdominal pain, which can mimic the acute abdomen. Trauma of the larynx may result in acute airway obstruction. The management of emergency anaesthesia for Caesarean section of a patient with documented HAE is described and the special problems presented discussed. The methods of prophylaxis available are considered and the use of fresh frozen plasma advocated.Keywords
