Abstract
A 26-year-old male presented to the emergency department with a chief complaint of globus sensation and sore throat in the setting of recent cocaine use. On physical examination, he was found to have isolated uvular edema and erythema. After excluding other potential inciting mechanisms of Quincke's disease, he was treated with anti-inflammatory medication and was observed for any development of airway compromise prior to discharge.
