Anaesthetic management of patient with pheochromocytoma for laparoscopic adrenalectomy
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Anesthesiology - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Pheochromocytoma is a neuroendocrine tumor of the medulla of the adrenal glands (originating in the chromaffin cells), or extra-adrenal chromaffin tissue that failed to involute after birth,1 that secretes high amounts of catecholamines, mostly norepinephrine, plus epinephrine to a lesser extent.2 Extra-adrenal paragangliomas (often described as extraadrenal pheochromocytomas) are closely related, though less common, tumors that originate in the ganglia of the sympathetic nervous system and are named based upon the primary anatomical site of origin. We report a case of a 42 year old hypertensive patient who presented with abdominal pain and was diagnosed to have left adrenal mass Pheochromocytoma, Hypertension, Type 2 DM, Acute Kidney Injury, Coronary artery disease with moderate LV dysfunction.
