Abstract
Angioedema of tongue can be a truly emergency situation and needs rapid evaluation and intervention if airway compromise happens. It is also crucial to recognize the causality of the allergic reaction. Mostly the culprit can be identified if detailed medical regimen and exposure history have been reviewed. A rare case of gabapentin-induced angioedema of tongue is presented.
