MDCT features of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor-induced visceral angioedema

AJR Am J Roentgenol. 2011 Apr;196(4):W405-11. doi: 10.2214/AJR.10.4856.

Abstract

Objective: Our objectives are to describe the CT features of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor-induced visceral angioedema and to review other conditions that may have similar findings.

Conclusion: CT findings in a patient taking an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor help in the diagnosis and subsequent treatment of ACE inhibitor-induced visceral angioedema.
