ABSTRACT
Eleven subjects aged <20 yr with histologically proven pheochromocytoma between 1987 and 2006 were analyzed. Family history was present in 18%. In 2 patients, pheochromocytoma was part of VHL and in one it was associated with MEN 2. Twenty four hour urine VMA level was elevated in 100% and metanephrine level in 73%. CT/ MRI were showing the tumor in all. Prazosin extended release tablets (maximum 30 mg/day) were used in 73% and doxazosin (maximum 12 mg/ day) in 27%. Intraoperative BP fluctuations were seen in 27%. All were biochemically cured after surgery. Preoperative á blockade with extended release prazosin and doxazosin were effective in controlling perioperative BP fluctuations. Hence these drugs can be used in children and adolescents without fear of postoperative hypotension.
