ABSTRACT
A Rare Cause of an Angioedema-Like Habitus Abstract. We report about a 69-year-old patient arriving at the emergency room with suspected allergic reaction grade III due to a pronounced facial swelling, dyspnea and dizziness. However, the cause was a bilateral pneumothorax with massive soft-tissue emphysema. On the one side it was due to a spontaneous secondary genesis in the context of a chronic pulmonary disease, on the other side it was due to a traumatic serial rib fracture.
