Abstract
|
|
|
A case of a pregnant woman with an undiagnosed pheochromocytoma is presented. Gestational hypertension was developed at 33 weeks' gestation. Also she experienced intermittent chest discomfort, headache and irritability during those period. Normal
vaginal delivery was successfully performed with close observation. Even though experiencing same symptoms for two year after delivery, she had been treated as neurosis. Uncatched pheochromocytoma was detected and the tumor was resected
successfully. It
sees to be that many cases of pheochromocytoma with pregnancy still go unrecognized because of close similarity between pheochromocytoma and toxemia. High index of suspicion should be maintained to achieve early diagnosis because antenatal
diagnosis can
lower the mortality in both mother and fetus(J Kor Soc Endocrinol 10:295~299, 1995).
