Angioedema Caused by Carbamazepine or Acetazolamide: A Single Drug Solution -An illustrative Case Report

Journal Title: Neuro – Open Journal - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 1

Abstract

We report a rare case of angioedema in an adolescent female with multiple problems, seizures migraines, peudotumor cerebrii, supraventricular tachycardia, and obesity. Management of drug therapy in such patients presents a clinical challenge. We discuss a single drug solution particularly in those patients in whom the memory of side effects of the drug is a vivid reality.
