title: Anaesthetic management for caesarean section combined with removal of phaeochromocytoma.
abstract: In this case report, the anaesthetic management for a removal of phaeochromocytoma undertaken immediately following Caesarean section is described. A 32-year-old female patients was given epidural anaesthesia for Caesarean section, and thereafter, general anaesthesia for a resection of phaeochromocytoma. During surgery, phentolamine, nitroglycerine and prostaglandin E1 were electively administered to decrease blood pressure and heart rate. A live infant was delivered and the supra-adrenal tumour was excised successfully. The patient's post-operative recovery was uneventful.
