Phaeochromocytoma. Severe and uncommon presentations

Annales Francaises d'Anesthesie et de Reanimation, Volume 18, No. 4, Year 1999

We report five cases of phaeochromocytoma in patients admitted for myocardial infarction, severe cardiac failure, with shock, stroke and ischaemic gangrene of a lower limb respectively. The pathophysiology of these events is discussed. Early surgery prevents visceral damage from massive release of catecholamines. © 1999 Elsevier, Paris.
