  • Title: [Abdominal manifestations of hereditary angioneurotic edema. Importance of the exploration of the complement system (apropos of 29 families)].
    Author: Hartmann L, Brecy H, Griffe J.
    Journal: Biomedicine; 1976 Dec 15; 24(6):443-9. PubMed ID: 1022317.
    Abstract:
    Abdominal manifestations are almost constantly present (85% of cases) in the current form of hereditary Quincke's disease. In some cases, these abdominal manifestations occur even when cutaneomucosal edema is not present which leads to unwarranted often repeated and sometimes dangerous surgery. Apart from a story of heredity diagnosis of such troubles is possible, provided the total complement has been assayed to note its sharp fall. It can be subsequently explained by a functional defect of the C1 esterase inhibitor or alpha2-neuraminoglycoprotein.
