INTRODUCTIONContrast-induced localized orbitofacial edema is one of the moderate contrast-induced adverse reactions. Adverse reaction occurs in less than 1% of patients, as low as 0.35%, according to a recent study based on domestic data. The systems range from mild to severe cardiopulmonary collapse (1). Mostly, there are mild symptoms such as skin rashes, flushing, or mild urticaria (2). These mild symptoms generally do not require treatment with self-limiting features (2), but proper management must be done should the symptoms worsen (2).The researchers experienced a rare case of contrast-induced localized orbitofacial edema appearring on enhanced computed tomography (CT). The orbitofacial swelling on an enhanced CT image was the result of a contrast-induced adverse reaction, because the findings had not manifested before intravenous administration of contrast agent, and it was naturally resolved without treatment. CASE REPORTThis study was approved by the Institutional Review Board, and the requirement for informed consent was waived.A 25-year-old man underwent a neck CT examination for an annual follow-up, after total thyroidectomy for papillary thy- Orbitofacial angioedema is one of the common contrast-induced adverse reactions. The symptoms are recognized, based on the patient's clinical complaints. Based on prior research findings, there were no reports about contrast-induced orbitofacial angioedema that was confirmed on image findings. The researchers herein report on contrast-induced orbitofacial angioedema presented on enhanced computed tomography, following intravenous administration of iodine contrast media.

“…Periorbital edema of dermatomyositis may mimic angioedema [41]. Other diseases to consider in differential diagnosis of angioedema are superior vena cava syndrome, myxedema of hypothyroidism, photodermatitis, Crohn's disease of the mouth and lips, facial cellulitis and MelkerssonRosenthal syndrome [18,41].…”

A Comprehensive Review of Urticaria and Angioedema

Urticaria is a common mast cell-mediated dermatosis presenting with pruritic erythematous superficial plaques also known as hives or wheals. Angioedema is an acute condition manifesting as localized edema affecting the skin and mucous membranes. In contrast with urticaria, itching is often absent, the skin appears normal and the edema occurs in deeper dermal and subcutaneous tissues in angioedema. Spontaneous urticaria can either be acute lasting less than 6 weeks or chronic with a duration of more than 6 weeks. In acute urticaria cases, an underlying cause, mostly medications, foods and infections, may be found in approximately 50% of patients. However, spontaneous urticaria is generally idiopathic. First-line treatment option for both acute and chronic urticaria is non-sedating H 1 antihistamines. Patients with recalcitrant disease are candidates for therapy with corticosteroids, immunosuppressives or omalizumab treatment. There are two different mechanisms causing angioedema. The first is mast cell mediated and is considered to be part of the spectrum of spontaneous or inducible urticarias. Patients present with angioedema alone or angioedema combined with urticaria. The second is bradykinin-induced angioedema, as observed in the hereditary angioedema and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor-induced angioedema.
