ABSTRACT
The intraoperative control of cardiovascular disturbances associated with the resection of phaeochromocytoma is traditionally achieved by the use of deep anaesthesia in conjunction with A and B blockers, calcium antagonists, nitroglycerine or sodium nitroprusside. We report the successful use of magnesium sulphate as adjunctive therapy in the control of the cardiovascular consequences associated with surgical resection of a phaeochromocytoma in a patient.
