Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE-i) are commonly used medications to treat hypertension and congestive heart failure. Angioedema is a well-established side effect of ACE-i and most commonly manifests as swelling of the mucosal and extra-mucosal soft tissues in the head and neck.

Herein we present five cases that illustrate the radiological findings specific to ACE-i-induced angioedema on enhanced CT scans.
