    Author: Heikkinen AM, Alhava E, Haring P, Suonio S, Saarikoski S.

    Abstract:
    A case of phaeochromocytoma diagnosed and treated during pregnancy is presented. The diagnosis was made by the typical paroxysmal symptoms with high blood pressure and confirmed by elevated plasma and urine catecholamine levels and ultrasound. After a short-term blockade with alpha and beta adrenergic antagonists an almost 10 cm large tumour was successfully excised at caesarean section. The problems with treatment of phaeochromocytoma during pregnancy are also discussed.
