Abstract
A case report of a patient with essential cryoglobulinemia and episodes of angioedema caused by an acquired C1 inhibitor deficiency is presented. The patient had high levels of circulating immune complexes. In the course of complement activation C1 inhibitor may be consumed and the resulting C1 inhibitor deficiency led to the occurrence of angioedema.
