abstract: Adrenergic crisis induced by a pheochromocytoma leads to life-threatening catecholamine-induced hemodynamic disturbances. Successful treatment of a pheochromocytoma crisis demands prompt diagnosis, vigorous pharmacological therapy and emergent tumor removal, if the patient continues to deteriorate.
