It was first described in detail by Quincke,1in 1882, as "an acute circumscribed edema of the skin" to differentiate it from the wellknown superficial whealing of urticaria, and given the name angioneurotic edema by Strübing,2three years later. It was believed by both these authors that the underlying mechanism responsible for this condition was a vasomotor disturbance of the blood vessels (angioneurosis)...References1.
