Hereditary angioedema with normal C1-esterase inhibitor (HAE-nC1INH) perioperative is a rare condition which could have potential disastrous ramifications for the anesthesiologist in the perioperative period. However, there is limited evidence and/or guidelines on the optimal way to manage these patients. We present the case of a patient with HAE-nC1INH who was successfully managed in the perioperative period with plasma derived Cl-esterase inhibitor (pdC1INH). A 29-year-old woman with a diagnosis of HAE-nC1INH presented to the preoperative consultation in preparation for an upcoming total thyroidectomy. She had a 14-year history of ongoing lip and facial edema sometimes necessitating emergency department visitation. Close consultation with her immunologist, transfusion medicine specialists, and anesthesia care providers allowed for a preoperative plan to provide the patient adequate prophylaxis. Both pdC1INH and tranexamic acid were given preoperatively. The patient underwent surgery with no complications. A multi-disciplinary team of clinical immunologists, transfusion medicine specialists, and anesthesiologists facilitated the successful perioperative management of a patient with HAE-nC1INH; pdC1INH may a suitable prophylactic perioperative therapy for this rare patient population.
