Anesthetic Management for Bilateral Pheochromocytoma / 대한마취과학회지

ABSTRACT

Pheochromocytoma is the cause of hypertension in 0.1% of the hypertencive patits, and in 10% of these cases, the tumor is bilateral. Therefore bilateral pheochromocytoma is very rare. The following is a report of the anesthetic methods employed in the surgical management of a case of bilateral pheochromocytoma which was performed in stages at PNUH, between June 4th and June 12, 1986. The staged operation reduced the instability of the vital signs caused by concurrent manipulation of the bilateral pheochromoytoma and facilitated tumor removal.
