A Rare Case of Quincke's Disease With an Unknown Trigger

Abstract

ABSTRACT Quincke's disease is a rare presentation of angioneurotic edema of the uvula alone, likely a Type I immediate hypersensitivity reaction. We raise awareness of this rare but life‐threatening case presenting as throat tightness, without rash or facial angioedema, treated with corticosteroids, antihistamines, and β2‐agonist nebulization.
