    Abstract:
    Pheochromocytoma is an uncommon tumour, young patients are involved. Diagnosis during pregnancy is scarcely made. Pheochromocytoma in pregnancy is a dramatic life threatening association for mother and foetus. High maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality can be reduced by a prompt diagnosis and treatment. We report two cases of pheochromocytoma associated with pregnancy, the prognosis of the first case was poor with stillbirth, the outcome was favourable in the second case for both mother and foetus. The authors emphasize the need of rapid diagnosis and treatment to improve outcome and the importance of perioperative management of these patients.
