- Authors
Paxton Jr., William H.
- Abstract
Delayed pressure urticaria is a rare form of physical urticaria. After a pressure stimulus, erythematous painful wheats may develop añer a delay of 1 to 12 hours. After manifestation these lesions may last for up to 72 hours. The case report presented here describes the successful intraoperative management of a 52-year-old woman experiencing this urticaria. This article discusses the preventive measures that were taken to avoid angioedema secondary to pressure related to anesthesia. Because of the rarity of the disease, anesthetic implications have not been addressed in the literature. Consideration of the symptoms and preoperative preventive measures may be of great benefit to all practitioners.
