Pheochromocytoma associated with pregnancy.
Pheochromocytoma associated with pregnancy is rare with potentially lethal consequences. Antepartum diagnosis improves the maternal and perinatal outcome. The issue of mode of delivery is unresolved. Its definitive treatment is surgical resection preceded by medical management. Surgical resection may be done during caesarean section as is reported in the present case.
