Recurrent "unexplained" scalp swelling in an eighteen-month-old child: An atypical presentation of angioedema causing confusion with child abuse - 12/10/17

Abstract |
In this article, we demonstrate that angioedema may atypically present with noninflammatory scalp or facial swelling without recurrence on other parts of the body and without urticaria. In a young child, such a presentation exclusively with recurrent “unexplained” swellings over different parts of the scalp could erroneously be misconstrued as child abuse (blunt head trauma).
