Angioedema is a known potential side effect of gabapentin; however, not many reports of presentation exist in literature. This report is of a 31-year-old woman who presented with signs of sciatica and was started on gabapentin. When the gabapentin dosage was increased, she developed angioedema of the right side of her face, particularly pronounced in the periorbital region. Because an acute allergic reaction was suspected at first, the patient was treated with epinephrine and Benadryl. However, when the patient did not improve, angioedema was suspected. The patient was subsequently treated with steroids and gabapentin was discontinued
