Rapid cyclic fluctuations of blood pressure associated with an adrenal pheochromocytoma.

چکیده
We present a patient with an adrenal pheochromocytoma with an unusual pattern of periodic alternating hypertension and hypotension. Alpha-adrenergic blockade alone failed to affect this pattern, which was abolished only after fluid repletion. The efficacy of volume expansion in ultimately correcting the wide fluctuations of blood pressure implicates a possible reflex neurogenic mechanism for the cyclic changes in blood pressure attributable to intravascular volume contraction.

متن کاملTraumatic Injury Causing Intraperitoneal Hemorrhage of an Occult Pheochromocytoma
Pheochromocytoma is a rare catecholamine-secreting tumor derived from chromaffin cells. The diagnosis is usually suggested by classic history in a symptomatic patient, presence of a strong family history in a patient, or discovery of an incidental mass on imaging in an asymptomatic patient. Traumatic hemorrhage into an occult pheochromocytoma presenting as hypovolemic shock is a rare presentati...
