Pheochromocytomas are rare catecholamine-producing neuroendocrine tumors that can lead to detrimental outcomes; if identified and treated, they are associated with a good prognosis. The clinical presentation can vary greatly but is classically associated with tachycardia, headaches, and hypertension. Bradyarrhythmias and sinus node dysfunction are uncommon complications of this condition. We present a case of pheochromocytoma associated with sinus pauses and junctional escape rhythms that had complete resolution of sinus node dysfunction after adrenalectomy.
嗜铬细胞瘤是一种罕见的分泌儿茶酚胺的神经内分泌肿瘤,可导致不良后果;若能识别并治疗,其预后良好。临床表现差异很大,但典型表现为心动过速、头痛和高血压。缓慢性心律失常和窦房结功能障碍是这种疾病不常见的并发症。我们报告一例与窦性停搏和交界性逸搏心律相关的嗜铬细胞瘤病例,该病例在肾上腺切除术后窦房结功能障碍完全缓解。
