title: Emergency management of phaeochromocytoma.
abstract: Phaeochromocytomas are catecholamine secreting tumours associated with unpredictable patterns of hypertension. A variety of forms of investigation are available for detecting hypersecretion of catecholamines or their metabolites. Recent developments in the biochemical diagnosis, localisation and management of phaeochromocytoma and its associated crisis are reviewed.
