  • Title: Spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage caused by pheochromocytoma in a child.
    Author: Chuang HL, Hsu WH, Hsueh C, Lin JN, Scott RM.
    Journal: Pediatr Neurosurg; 2002 Jan; 36(1):48-51. PubMed ID: 11818748.
    Abstract:
    We report a 6-year-old boy who presented with left occipital spontaneous lobar hematoma and hypertension. Cerebral angiography failed to demonstrate a vascular malformation. Subsequently, a left adrenal tumor was found that proved to be a pheochromocytoma. This is the first report in the literature of a lobar hematoma in a child caused by a concomitant pheochromocytoma. In children with hypertension and resulting intracerebral hematoma, a pheochromocytoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis.
