Caesarean section at 27 weeks gestation with removal of phaeochromocytoma.
We describe the anaesthetic management of a 31-yr-old woman undergoing combined Caesarean section and removal of phaeochromocytoma during the 27th week of pregnancy. The technique used (general anaesthesia with extradural block) provided good operating conditions and a relatively stable haemodynamic state.
