Phaeochromocytoma crisis in Sipple's syndrome with intrauterine death and disseminated intravascular coagulation.
Unrecognized phaeochromocytoma during pregnancy is dangerous for both fetus and mother. We report here a case of phaeochromocytoma crisis in Sipple's syndrome associated with disseminated intravascular coagulation that developed following intrauterine death. Early evacuation of the uterus seems advisable, to rid the patient with phaeochromocytoma of further complications associated with fetal death.
