Pheochromocytoma - August 2000 Table of Contents Images and diagnoses. Phaeochromocytoma from paraganglia of the urinary bladder wall. Use of magnesium sulphate as adjunctive therapy for resection of phaeochromocytoma. Pheochromocytoma with negative urinalysis in pregnancy.
Adrenal pheochromocytoma remains a frequently overlooked diagnosis.
Laparoscopic partial adrenalectomy in patients with hereditary forms of pheochromocytoma. Relative expression of the RET9 and RET51 isoforms in human pheochromocytomas. Phaeochromocytoma from paraganglia of the urinary bladder wall. The intraoperative control of cardiovascular disturbances associated with the resection of phaeochromocytoma is traditionally achieved by the use of deep anaesthesia in conjunction with alpha and beta blockers, calcium antagonists, nitroglycerine or sodium nitroprusside. We report the successful use of magnesium sulphate as adjunctive therapy in the control of the cardiovascular consequences associated with surgical resection of a phaeochromocytoma in a patient.
