The angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor captopril (SQ 14225, 50 mg tid) was used for treating a patient with idiopathic edema. A marked improvement of clinical condition was achieved as confirmed by the significant decrease in the morning-evening weight difference during treatment. No disturbance of arterial pressure regulation as well as side effects were observed after a 22 month-period of treatment. This observation which needs further studies brings a new approach of the treatment of patients with idiopathic edema.
