Phaeochromocytoma is a catecholamine producing tumour and an uncommon cause of hypertension. We present two cases of relatively asymptomatic individuals, in which previously undiagnosed phaeochromocytoma was unmasked by elective nonadrenal surgical procedures, manifesting as postoperative hypertensive crisis and subsequent cardiogenic shock. The initial management in intensive care is discussed, in addition to the clinical and biochemical diagnostic challenges present. Successful adrenalectomy was performed in each case.
嗜铬细胞瘤是一种分泌儿茶酚胺的肿瘤,是高血压的罕见病因。我们报告两例相对无症状的患者,在择期非肾上腺外科手术中,先前未被诊断出的嗜铬细胞瘤被发现,表现为术后高血压危象及随后的心源性休克。除了所面临的临床和生化诊断挑战外,还讨论了重症监护中的初始管理。两例患者均成功进行了肾上腺切除术。
