Abstract

Purpose: To describe a case of bilateral labial edema in an adolescent patient and review the literature on this rare occurrence. Material: A 16-year-old girl was treated for widespread genital condyloma acuminata with CO₂ laser under general anesthesia and local lidocaine injections. Severe bilateral labial edema occurred after 48 hours. Results: Lidocaine and Latex dermal patch tests for delayed hypersensitivity were negative. The edema resolved following treatment with local ice packs and magnesium sulfate compresses for 2 weeks. Conclusion: This is the first description of severe bilateral labial edema after CO₂ laser treatment for condyloma acuminata. We suggest that transient local lymphatic obstruction was the reason for this complication. The literature on this rare occurrence is reviewed.
